@AndrewM_Fischer @sanjaygreddy The World Bank president said the $200 billion is for *combating* climate change. The Guardian headline asserts this as fact.

But the official announcement appears to include $50 billion for *adaptation to* climate change.

The headline also omits his words "over five years". @AndrewM_Fischer @sanjaygreddy The Guardian headline: " *World Bank* to invest $200bn".
Text: "The World Bank is to make about $200bn (£157bn) available".

But the World Bank president in fact said it was "investing and *mobilizing* " $200bn, though its own headline may mislead.
