9.4: Global Public Goods
Play a more active role in regional and global issues that cross national borders, including climate change, infectious diseases,
and trade.
Other Information:
The Challenge. Global public goods are aspects of development that reach across borders: examples include the environment,
public health, and international trade and financial infrastructure. Actions are often needed that extend beyond what market
systems or individual countries can do on their own - developing new vaccines, for instance, and reducing carbon emissions
to address global warming. What We're Doing. The World Bank Group is helping spur multilateral action and global partnerships
involving governments, nonprofit organizations, and socially responsible corporations. Our work on global public goods focuses
on the environment, especially climate change; controlling communicable diseases, such as HIV/AIDS and malaria; preventing
and mitigating crises in international financial systems; and promoting an open, multilateral trade system.
