Such a long time coming but that shouldn’t diminish the congratulations to the MIGA team for driving it home with flight cover from The World Bank President Ajay Banga. There is still much to do but this can scale and have impact in short term - now to streamline and improve the project preparation and project development advice and support for private sector development - delivery, quality, appropriateness and timeliness. Across the Bank Group, across MDB system and across 19th street to International Monetary Fund. Kudos Junaid Ahmad S. Vijay Iyer et al.

Immensely proud of all the hard work and visionary change undertaken at The Private Infrastructure Development Group PIDG these last few years. This report and our new strategy show the pathway forward for more exciting impact ahead notwithstanding how much more work there is to do to build infrastructure investment pipelines and conditions for successful investment, invest and deploy equity across Africa and Asia. #infrastructure #climate #blendedfinance #sustainabledevelopment #SDGs

“Ultimately, every workplace death or injury from heat is avoidable, and each one is the product of a lack of adequate safety measures”. With presidential debates looming time for a question “what will your administration do to protect people from extreme heat already a silent killer and driving productivity down, but elected to get worse without urgent action on climate change.” Good question for a PM debate in the UK too. In fact everywhere still with polls this year as we see extreme heat events on three continents simultaneously. The Atlantic Climate Resilience for All Zoë Schlanger

Extreme heat on three continents. Elections on all continents (barring the poles) and not a lot about climate and climate induced and exacerbated extreme heat. So it’s to cities and unions and community leaders and environment organizations to raise the alarm, make people aware of the danger of the silent killer and get prepared. Then we will need to redesign the way we live in cities. This will be on the to do list for governments even if this years election cycle ignores the danger. I discuss all of this with BBC #Radio4.
