WASHINGTON (APP) - The World Bank has said that it will increase funding for renewable energy to reduce the effects of climate change in developing countries.

In a statement issued in Washington, the bank said, following the UN climate conference that yielded the Paris Agreement in December, it has chalked out a plan which would add 30 gigawatts of renewable energy to the global grid.
