Countries are working to grow their economies, lift people out of poverty, and create jobs, while confronting droughts, storms, and floods that are hitting harder and more often. The fast-approaching demographic surge in emerging markets presents a challenge and an opportunity as we work to create enough jobs for the young people who need them.

It will also demand policy and regulatory reforms that make economies more competitive and transparent, and financing that mobilizes private capital at scale.
