The World Bank Group has set a clear mission: ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity on a livable planet. This report offers the first post-pandemic assessment of global progress toward these interlinked goals, and explores potential pathways out of today's polycrisis - an environment where multiple and interconnected challenges are impacting the world simultaneously. The report's messages are presented around progress in terms of the goals, pathways to move forward, and priorities depending on where countries stand on the interlinked goals.
