Svenja Schulze at the 105th Meeting of the Development Committee in Washington, DC on April 22, 2022. It addresses intertwined crises, including the continuing COVID-19 impact on health systems, supply chains, economies, and worsening debt burdens. The statement calls for determined action against climate change, biodiversity loss, poverty, hunger, fragility, and conflict, while condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine and outlining key priorities for development policy and World Bank engagement.","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 FIFTH MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – APRIL 22, 2022  \nDC/S/2022-0011 April 22, 2022  \nStatement by  \nH.E Svenja Schulze  \nFederal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development  \nGermany  \nStatement by  \nH.E. Svenja Schulze  \nFederal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development  \nGermany  \n105th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nApril 22, 2022  \nWashington, DC  \nThe Spring Meetings this year are taking place against a backdrop of multiple, mutually exacerbating crises. The COVID pandemic has still not been overcome. Its effects on health systems, global supply chains and economies will continue to be felt for a long time. In many countries, the pandemic has significantly worsened the debt burden. This is also continuing to put a curb not just on urgently needed social spending but also on investments for the future, especially in climate action and environmental protection. In many places, the pandemic has reversed the development progress that had been achieved in recent years.  \nThe pressure to act is greater than ever. Climate change and the loss of biodiversity are continuing apace. The time remaining for us to take effective countermeasures is disappearing.  \nWe must act with determination in order to cut through the spiral of climate change, loss of biodiversity, poverty, hunger, fragility and conflict. We must also be guided by a new understanding of inclusive prosperity within planetary boundaries, with goals that we use to shape our development policy and actions.  \nPutin’s war against Ukraine is magnifying the global challenges, making it more difficult to cut through the spiral. This attack goes against the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations, it contradicts the aims of our work in the World Bank and it cannot in any way be justified. The Russian government is responsible for immeasurable suffering, thousands of deaths – including the deaths of many children and women – and the destruction of hospitals, schools, villages and cities, and for the suffering of millions of people forced to flee from the terror, the barbarian acts, the war crimes of the Russian troops.  \nPutin has attacked a sovereign state in Europe, but the impacts ofthis war are being felt in many countries around the world: the Russian government bears responsibility for increases in the price of fertilizers, food and commodities, and for increasing food insecurity.  \nThe overwhelming majority of the members of the United Nations has unequivocally condemned this war of aggression and the guilty complicity of Belarus. Together with numerous other countries, we are supporting Ukraine and firmly opposing this aggression. We have put together an unprecedented package of sanctions. We have consciously designed these sanctions so that additional impacts on global trade in agricultural goods are avoided. It lies in the hands of Vladimir Putin to find his way back to civil relations conducted with due respect for international law. In these dark hours we are firmly by the side of Ukraine and of the countries that are feeling the global impacts ofthe Russian war of aggression.  \nGlobal challenges require global solutions. The World Bank Group is ideally placed to lead the way, and to design and realize partnership-based solutions. We need the unique financial capacity, the comprehensive expertise, the global reach and the determined action of the World Bank now more than ever.  \nLet me highlight five tasks that I consider especially important:  \n1. Food security  \nThere are two-and-a-half billion people worldwide who are not able to feed themselves adequately; that isone third of humankind. Although the World Bank is not a provider of humanitarian assistance, it does playa crucial rol","cbCaijRbYOZSsr47","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijRbYOZSsr47","pdf",155407,3,1,4,"English","en",105,"# Opening and crisis context\n## COVID-19, debt, and development setbacks\n# Climate and biodiversity action\n## Inclusive prosperity within planetary boundaries\n# Response to the war in Ukraine\n## Condemnation, sanctions, and global impacts\n# World Bank role and priorities\n## Food security\n## Global public goods\n## GRID approach for green, resilient, inclusive development","[{\"question\":\"What crises does the statement describe as shaping the Development Committee meeting?\",\"answer\":\"It describes multiple mutually exacerbating crises, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its long-lasting effects on health systems, supply chains, economies, and debt burdens.
