Pepukaye Bardouille will share the main tenets of the revised Bridgetown 3.0 initiative, recently unveiled at the Spring World Bank and IMF meetings in Washington.

The initial proposals in the Bridgetown Initiative effectively set us down a path of revisiting the institutions set up by the Bretton Woods agreement in 1944. After World War II, global leaders met at a hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to set up financial institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to help rebuild the postwar economy and to promote international economic cooperation.

The Bridgetown Initiative is seizing on growing momentum behind the idea that this system, forged in the 1940s, is not working: Today's institutions are simply not equipped to deal with the host of new challenges faced by emerging economies and developing countries when it comes to climate change, from back-to-back hurricanes in the Caribbean to historic floods in Asia and droughts in West Africa.
