The World Bank announced on September 19, 2024, that it delivered a record $42.6 billion in climate change financing in the last financial year, up 10 percent from a year earlier. The development lender has looked to boost its climate financing commitment under new president Ajay Banga, who took over last year on a pledge to reform the 80-year-old Washington-based institution.
