If the world is to fight poverty then it must also fight climate change, a top official with the World Bank has said.

The Bank’s Vice President for the Middle East and North Africa, Hafez Ghanem, made the declaration at the latest UN climate change conference in Morocco, known as COP22.

Basma Baghall asked Mr Ghanem about a World Bank climate action plan for the region.
