The second example relates to the behaviour of rich nations, which have unabashedly deployed evasive tactics at Bonn, host to the 2017 UN Climate Change Conference to implement the Paris Agreement signed in 2015. The rich countries have been trying every trick to avoid meeting commitments on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, arresting climate change and funding developing and poor countries to help counter the effects of climate change. This builds on a preceding March 2017 document called “Forward Look—A Vision For The World Bank Group In 2030, Progress And Challenges”. There are also concerns about involving the private sector in healthcare and education, especially because private and public interests are rarely aligned. To be fair, the Bank’s hands are tied because the rich countries, especially the US, have refused to provide additional capital.
