The report emphasizes that reducing poverty and increasing\nshared prosperity must be achieved in ways that do not come at unacceptably high costs to\nthe environment. The current “polycrisis”—where the multiple crises of slow economic growth,\nincreased fragility, climate risks, and heightened uncertainty have come together at the same\ntime—makes national development strategies and international cooperation difficult.\n\nOffering the first post-Coronavirus (COVID)-19 pandemic assessment of global progress on this\ninterlinked agenda, the report finds that global poverty reduction has resumed but at a pace\nslower than before the COVID-19 crisis. Nearly 700 million people worldwide live in extreme\npoverty with less than US$2.15 per person per day. Progress has essentially plateaued amid\nlower economic growth and the impacts of COVID-19 and other crises. Today, extreme poverty\nis concentrated mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa and fragile settings. At a higher standard more\ntypical of upper-middle-income countries—US$6.85 per person per day—almost one-half of the\nworld is living in poverty.\n\nThe report also provides evidence that the number of countries that have high levels of income\ninequality has declined considerably during the past two decades, but the pace of improvements\nin shared prosperity has slowed, and that inequality remains high in Latin America and the\nCaribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa. Worldwide, people’s incomes today would need to increase\nfivefold on average to reach a minimum prosperity threshold of US$25 per person per day.\nWhere there has been progress in poverty reduction and shared prosperity, there is evidence of\nan increasing ability of countries to manage natural hazards, but climate risks are significantly\nhigher in the poorest settings. Nearly one in five people globally is at risk of experiencing welfare\nlosses due to an extreme weather event from which they will struggle to recover.\n\nThe interconnected issues of climate change and poverty call for a united and inclusive effort\nfrom the global community. Development cooperation stakeholders—from governments,\nnongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to communities and citizens acting\nlocally in every corner of the globe—hold pivotal roles in promoting fair and sustainable\ntransitions. By emphasizing strategies that yield multiple benefits and diligently monitoring and\naddressing trade-offs, we can strive toward a future that is prosperous, equitable, and resilient.","brand":"World Bank Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46577182048511,"sku":"9781464821233","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_6999ba66-c7ed-4733-84d8-514a66e68cf9.jpg?v=1738949599","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781464821233","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
