World Bank President David Malpass said Friday he had no plans to stand down, as he battles charges of climate denial for dodging questions on the role of man-made emissions in global warming.

"Not resigning," Malpass said in an interview with Politico, when asked if he had considered quitting over the firestorm caused by his comments at a conference on climate finance -- which he has since moved to clarify.
