Hi John,

Tomorrow, WRI President Andrew Steer interviews Sir Suma Chakrabarti, the outgoing President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. They’ll talk about Sir Suma’s eight years at the helm of EBRD and the multilateral development banks’ role in the transition to a green economy – their record so far, their position today and the work ahead.
