Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, addressed the theme of what is to be done, and what will I do? He opened with stories from his life, which made him realize that activism could drive social change. World Bank Group has set goals to end extreme
poverty by 2030 and to boost shared prosperity for the
bottom 40 percent in every developing country. These goals
will drive our work going forward. But three major
challenges will determine whether we succeed: achieving
inclusive economic growth; investing in people; and
slowing the rising tide of climate change. Finally he concludes saying that, whatever you do,
please remember that the time is now for all of us to work
together to bend the arc of history toward justice.
