Crisis needs urgent attention.
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva urged policymakers on Wednesday to use their response to the coronavirus pandemic to tackle climate change.
“Looking ahead, policies should lay the foundation for a low-carbon, resilient recovery that would create millions of jobs while help address the climate crisis,” she told an International Labour Organisation conference.
“We are especially concerned that the crisis will jeopardise the important development gains of the last years,” she added.
