Magdalena Andersson - 104th Meeting - on COVID-19 and Climate","Statement delivered by H.E. Magdalena Andersson, Minister of Finance of Sweden, on behalf of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden at the 104th Development Committee meeting. It prioritizes ending the COVID-19 pandemic through global vaccination goals, leadership on vaccine supply via COVAX, and strengthening health emergency preparedness in developing countries. It also urges urgent climate action, carbon pricing, adequate climate finance, and a GRID-guided recovery, alongside gender-focused measures to address inequality intensified by COVID-19.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE  \n(Joint Ministerial Committee  \nof the  \nBoards of Governors ofthe Bank and the Fund  \non the  \nTransfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries)  \nONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 15, 2021  \nDC/S/2021-0045 October 15, 2021  \nStatement by  \nH.E. Magdalena Andersson  \nMinister of Finance  \nSweden  \non behalf of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania,  \nNorway, and Sweden  \nStatement by  \nH.E. Magdalena Andersson  \nMinister of Finance  \nSweden  \non behalf of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden  \n104th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nOctober 15, 2021  \nWashington, DC  \nEnding the COVID-19 pandemic is our most pressing priority.  \n1. The pandemic has truly been an unprecedented shock both to global health and to the global economy. Let us remind ourselves that the pandemic is far from over. Putting an end to it must remain the highest priority. Achieving global vaccination is pressing. No one is safe until everyone is safe.  \n2. We welcome the global goal to vaccinate at least 40 percent of the population in all countries by the end of this year and at least 70 percent by mid-2022 and welcome the World Bank’s involvement in the Multilateral Leaders Task Force. Global vaccination is crucial not only to save lives, but to avoid the major economic downside risks posed by new virus mutations. It is in every country’s interest that outbreaks of infectious diseases are prevented and halted, now and in the future.  \n3. We applaud the establishment of a collaborative mechanism between the Bank and COVAX to accelerate COVID-19 vaccine supply for developing countries. We urge the Bank to continue to show strong leadership by keeping up its good work on financing and implementing vaccination campaigns globally. We need a strong international system and collaboration to end this pandemic and to avoid that the next disease outbreak becomes a pandemic.  \n4. We call on the Bank to be proactive in strengthening developing countries capacity to prepare for, prevent, respond to, and mitigate future health emergencies.  \n…together with the immediate urgency of tackling climate change  \n5. The recent IPCC report makes clear the immediate urgency of tackling climate change to avoid disastrous consequences. The just released World Bank Groundswell report on climate migration only serves to underscore the extent to which people and societies will be impacted.  \n6. Tackling climate change requires action now. Putting a price on carbon is essential as well as delivering on the yet to be met $100 billion per year climate finance promised in 2009. Strong leadership must be shown by the Bank, and the Nordic-Baltic countries call for:  \ni. The Bank to focus beyond the provision of direct financing towards targeting broader development impact by catalyzing additional private and domestic resources, aligned with the Paris Agreement. As part of this, strengthen efforts to mobilise private investments for adaptation, especially in countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.  \nii. A strong implementation plan and climate scorecard, with specific, measurable and time-bound indicators, for the recently launched World Bank Group Climate Change Action Plan.  \niii. Increased transparency regarding the development of the methodology to fully align the Bank’s operations with the Paris Agreement by 2023, before it is being presented at COP26 . The methodology must be based on objective and science-based criteria for assessing alignment and give clarity on Paris alignment of financial intermediaries.  \niv. The Bank to take on a transformative role in incentivizing and supporting countries so that their Nationally Determined Contributions are in line with the 1,5-degree Celsius and net-zero by mid-century targets, and are accompanied by Long-term strategies that outline science-based pathways ","cbCaianFZgai0RGe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaianFZgai0RGe","pdf",185811,1,4,"English","en",105,"#
