HAPPENING NOW: Civil Society Policy Forum on the potential integration of the World Bank and IFC/MIGA accountability mechanisms to ensure complainants’ best interests
⚖️ Countries have a legal obligation to act on climate.
The World Bank Group and other MDBs must also step up, by ensuring that policies & practices support member states to reduce emissions & pursue clean energy pathways.
🗞️ Here's how and why: globalcapital.com/article/2fgk76…
While the @ADB_HQ Energy Policy Review is underway, remember: Critical minerals wealth flows North 🌍 — but the costs stay South:
❌ Water scarcity
❌ Land destruction
❌ Livelihood loss
ADB must ensure a fair, accountable & just transition.

⚠️ Lifting the nuclear ban with ZERO risk review?
🚫 @ADB_HQ is skipping science, law, and public input.
🌏 Asia deserves better.

🌏 Millions depend on @ADB_HQ’s energy decisions.
But its rushed review ignores science, dodges climate law, & backs false solutions.
Time to align with 1.5°C

Mozambique LNG is a known site of environmental and human rights violations – and the @EximBankUS approved billions of tax dollars to fund this project without proper environmental review, economic assessments, or public input.
We're taking them to court.
World Bank Group guarantees — not as "green" as they seem?⚠️
New research shows how @MIGA guarantees are boosting big banks’ ability to invest in fossil fuels, including

🇦🇷 Oil & gas in Argentina

A historic deal to shift $41 billion per year out of fossil fuels to clean energy could be agreed tomorrow IF Türkiye stops blocking. @RTErdogan, @HMBakanligi - Türkiye must join with other countries & agree on an OECD deal to #StopFundingFossils: tinyurl.com/328knjeh
A historic deal to shift $41 billion per year out of fossil fuels to clean energy could be agreed tomorrow IF Korea stops blocking. @President_KR, @mofa_kr, Korea must join with other countries and agree on an OECD deal to #StopFundingFossils: tinyurl.com/328knjeh
.@KennethNanaAmo1: Korea, the world is watching. On December 10th, Korea can either join other countries in agreeing on a historic deal to end export finance for fossil fuels or hold back clean energy progress.
Which will it be @moefkorea_eng @MOTIEKoreaEng @MOFAkr_eng?
Today the development banks meet at #COP29 to celebrate "transformative climate action"
But we looked into what they counted as climate finance in 2023, and found problematic projects & failed prioritisation

❗Our reply to @EBRD president's soft touch on fossil fuels is in @Euractiv!
"The idea that public money is vital to support an industry where the top 5 companies alone made a profit of USD$111bn last year is questionable."
