A Breath of Change: Solutions for Cleaner Air World Bank Group 2026-01-12 | Air pollution across the Indo-Gangetic Plains and Himalayan Foothills— which comprises parts of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan—is one of the most pressing health and development challenges in South Asia. Nearly one billion people are exposed to hazardous air every day, leading to around one million premature deaths annually and shortening average life expectancy by more than three years. The economic cost is immense, with an estimated 10 percent of regional GDP lost to reduced productivity, illness, and related damages. Air pollution comes from five key sources: i) households burning solid fuels for cooking and heating; ii) industries burning fossil fuels and biomass inefficiently and without appropriate filter technology; iii) motorists using inefficient internal combustion vehicles; iv) farmers burning crop residues and inefficiently managing fertilizers and manure; and v) households and firms burning waste. Our new report, A Breath of Change: Solutions for Cleaner Air in the Indo-Gangetic Plains and Himalayan Foothills, finds that a handful of actions—if taken across a range of sectors and jurisdictions—can significantly reduce pollution, improve public health, and support stronger economic growth.00:00 Impact of air pollution across Indo Gangetic Plains & Himalayan Foothills00:27 Ten solutions for cleaner air00:37 Abatement measures: Reducing emissions at source01:49 Protection measures: Role of health and education sectors02:26 Frameworks including governance, market-based instruments & regional collaborationsLearn more, Read the report: http://wrld.bg/qEtP50XVBWqABOUT THE WORLD BANK 🌐 The World Bank is one of the world’s largest sources of funding and knowledge for low-income countries.

Why Standards Matter for Development World Bank Group 2025-12-11 | International standards shape 90% of global trade — discover how they affect developing economies in the World Development Report 2025.Standards are the hidden rules that make the world work.

Sentar las bases de la IA: De las explotaciones agrícolas a las economías del futuro World Bank Group 2025-12-03 | La inteligencia artificial (IA) avanza a una velocidad extraordinaria, y produce cambios en las economías a nivel mundial y la vida cotidiana.

Poser les fondations de l’IA : des petites exploitations agricoles aux économies de demain World Bank Group 2025-11-27 | L’essor rapide de l’intelligence artificielle (IA) transforme déjà nos économies et notre quotidien. En libérant l’accès à la connaissance, en dopant la productivité et en créant de nouveaux marchés, l’IA pourrait devenir un puissant moteur d’emploi, d’innovation industrielle et de transformation économique dans les pays en développement. Dans le domaine agroalimentaire, elle peut aider les petits exploitants à augmenter leurs rendements et à renforcer leur résilience. Mais concrétiser ce potentiel exige des investissements de base dans les fondations de l’IA que sont les infrastructures, la gouvernance et les compétences numériques, ainsi que des solutions pragmatiques telles que les « petites IA ». Quelles devraient être les priorités des pays ? Pour répondre à cette question, le Groupe de la Banque mondiale a réuni experts, décideurs publics et innovateurs. Ensemble, ils ont éclairé comment les pays peuvent renforcer les fondations de l’IA et mettre ces technologies au service d’une croissance inclusive, dans l’agriculture comme dans d’autres secteurs.
