The Solar Story

Solar¡¯s moment has been decades in the making, but today solar is seen as an essential tool to both to close the energy gap and decarbonize. Discover how the World Bank¡¯s support over 25 years has been instrumental.

With the planet¡¯s population expected to skyrocket by 2050, dramatically increasing the demand for food, embracing sustainable irrigation practices is urgent as never before.

Forests are a game changer for ending poverty and ensuring a livable planet. They sequester carbon, clean the air we breathe, enrich the soil for farmers to grow crops, create jobs locally, and drive industries globally.

See how the World Bank is working with indigenous peoples, local communities, and governments to build greater integrity and trust in carbon markets.
