Partners

The World Bank is involved in numerous climate-related partnerships. Our partners include other multilaterals, donor and client country governments, and nongovernmental and civil society organizations.

[1]	Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM) [2]. The ALM project will draw from experiences on the ground, featuring tools and practical guidance to meet the needs of developing countries. Seeking to provide stakeholders with a common platform for sharing and learning, the ALM will also complement the wide range of adaptation knowledge networks and initiatives already underway.
[2]	African Development Bank (AfDB) [2]. The African Development Bank Group’s mission is to help reduce poverty, improve living conditions for Africans and mobilize resources for the continent’s economic and social development. With this objective in mind, the institution aims at assisting African countries – individually and collectively - in their efforts to achieve sustainable economic development and social progress.
[3]	Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) [3]. Established in 1992, the program aims at mainstreaming renewable energy and energy efficiency in the World Bank's lending operations in the power sector in Asia.
[4]	Asia Development Bank (ADB) [4]. ADB is an international development finance institution whose mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Headquartered in Manila, and established in 1966, ADB is owned and financed by its 67 members, of which 48 are from the region and 19 are from other parts of the globe.
[5]	The Center for Environmental Economics and Policy in Africa (CEEPA) [5]. The mission of CEEPA is to enhance the capacity of African researchers to conduct relevant environmental economics and policy inquiries and increase the awareness of the role of environmental economics in sustainable development among managers and policy makers.
[6]	Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) [6]. CGIAR fosters sustainable agricultural growth through high-quality science aimed at benefiting the poor through stronger food security, better human nutrition and health, higher incomes and improved management of natural resources. The World Bank was a founding member of the CGIAR, and is one of the Group's four Co-sponsors.
[7]	Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) [7]. ESMAP, co-sponsored by the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), is a global technical assistance program that provides policy advice on sustainable development issues to the governments of developing countries and economies in transition.
[8]	European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) [8]. The EBRD is an international financial institution that supports projects in 30 countries from central Europe to central Asia. Investing primarily in private sector clients whose needs cannot be fully met by the market, the Bank promotes entrepreneurship and fosters transition towards open and democratic market economies.
[9]	Global Donor Program for Rural Development [9]. Their ultimate goal is to reduce poverty and promote economic growth in rural areas in developing countries, as reflected in their Mission Statement: We are committed to achieving increased development assistance impact and more effective investment in rural development and agriculture.
[10]	Global Environment Facility (GEF) [10]. The GEF is the financing mechanism for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as well as other key international environmental agreements. As a GEF implementing agency, the World Bank helps identify, prepare and implement projects that reduce poverty and benefit the local and global environment.
[11]	Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) [11]. The World Bank is cooperating actively with the GFDRR, which strives to integrate hazard risk reduction strategies at local and national levels.
[12]	Global Gas Flaring Reduction partnership (GGFR) [12]. A World Bank-led initiative, the partnership facilitates and supports national efforts to use currently flared gas by promoting effective regulatory frameworks and tackling the constraints on gas utilization, such as insufficient infrastructure and poor access to local and international energy.
[13]	Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) [13]. The IDB, established in 1959 to support the process of economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean, is the main source of multilateral financing in the region.
[14]	Lighting Africa [14]. Initiated by the IFC, this World Bank Group program increases access to modern lighting services in many IDA countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its goal is catalytic: to mobilize the private sector to reach 250 million "energy-poor" customers by 2030 with low-cost, reliable, affordable lighting.
[15]	Nairobi Framework (NF) [15]. In 2006, the NF was established as an interagency capacity-building mechanism focusing on developing the carbon market in Africa. Its aim is to substantially scale up the participation of Africa in the carbon market through improved coordination and increased funding.
[16]	Program on Forests (ProFor) [16]. PROFOR is a multi-donor partnership formed to pursue a shared goal of enhancing forests' contribution to poverty reduction, sustainable development and protection of environmental services, through improved knowledge and approaches for sustainable forest management.

The World Bank helps to provide guidance and support for consultation and action to this important partnership.
[20]	United Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCC) [20]. The UNFCCC is an international treaty through which countries consider ways to reduce global warming and cope with rising temperatures. The World Bank is an observer to the UNFCCC and also takes part in a number of technical discussions conducted by the UNFCCC Secretariat.
