The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is gearing up for its 2024 annual meeting in Tbilisi, Georgia, from May 2-5, where leaders from 68 member countries and regions will tackle climate challenges under the theme 'Bridge to the Future.' 🌉 The event brings together finance ministers, central bank governors, and development experts to strategize on sustainable solutions for the Asia-Pacific region.
In an exclusive interview with CGTN’s Wang Tianyu, ADB Vice President Scott Morris highlighted the urgency of climate action: 'We’re not just building infrastructure—we’re building resilience.' 💪 Topics like green financing, renewable energy transitions, and disaster-proof economies dominate the agenda.
With Georgia hosting for the first time, the meeting also underscores the growing role of innovation in bridging economic gaps. Think solar-powered startups, AI-driven farming, and youth-led climate initiatives—all part of the blueprint for a greener tomorrow. 🔋✨
