The two are currently attending the U20 Mayors Summit, which brings together mayors and senior delegates from cities and provinces across the globe with the aim of raising the profile of urban development priorities ahead of the G20 Summit in June.
“Urbanization is playing a critical role in economic development. We are already witnessing rapid urbanization in West Java. Cities currently generate 70% of global carbon emissions and their growth must be managed in such a way that it does not compound climate change,” said Vivek Pathak, IFC Regional Director for East Asia and the Pacific. “Working with the authorities in West Java to provide advice on funding infrastructure projects and corporate governance practices will help to mitigate climate impacts,” he continued.
