This session will raise awareness of the need to accelerate climate action and finance in contexts affected by fragility, conflict and violence (FCV), highlighting a diverse range of World Bank, government and humanitarian activities. The event will showcase experiences from activities in Chad, Mozambique and Yemen that can be replicated and scaled up to promote resilience to compounding shocks and stresses.
