How are the IMF and the World Bank shaping climate policy : lessons from Pakistan

"This report addresses these questions by reviewing key diagnostic toolkits, lending programme documentation, and technical advisory input of the IMF and the WBG. In section one, we focus on the general framework and design of the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Trust (RST) and the WBG’s Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs). Section 2 reviews specific country projects in Pakistan and evaluates their impact on the nation’s capacity to meet its climate obligations and respond effectively to local climate challenges. In section 3, we examine existing and expected interactions between the IMF and the WBG’s present operations in Pakistan and assess their implications for the future of climate and development in the nation in the light of a probable arrangement under the RST."
