Sustainable development is fundamental to the World Bank Group's mission to reduce poverty. The Sustainable Development Network was established in 2006 to help improve the quality of the World Bank’s work and strengthen professional development and knowledge sharing in and across four areas: agriculture, environment, infrastructure and social development. SDN works with policy makers, civil society, and the private sector to address climate change and encourage inclusive green growth.
