How the World Bank, IMF, and G20 Are Tackling Inequality, Climate?

A month after the Silicon Valley Bank collapsed, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund met in Washington DC. The meetings, which just wrapped up, were expected to focus on global economic stability, within the context of rising inflation, central bank interest rate hikes, and the war in Ukraine.

In all these high-level international meetings, how did issues of debt, poverty, inequality, and the climate crisis play out?
