At a conference of the International Labour Organization, Kristalina Georgieva, director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), called today on politicians to focus on a low-carbon, lasting recovery that would create millions of jobs. According to her, this would help deal with the climate crisis, which has threatened important developments in recent years.
