HAPPENING NOW: Civil Society Policy Forum on the potential integration of the World Bank and IFC/MIGA accountability mechanisms to ensure complainants’ best interests

[Recourse | @re-course.org on Bluesky @RecourseTeam]

⚖️ 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: https://t.co/Q5r0JwOySR

⛽ @ADB_HQ review risks locking in LNG & stranded assets.
🌱 Fund renewables, not harm.

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

🚨 @ADB_HQ is fast-tracking fossil fuels 🔥, lifting the nuclear ban ☢️, and skipping environmental reviews ⚠️.

This isn’t climate leadership 🌍.
It’s climate betrayal 💔.

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
🇲🇿 🇨🇦🇻🇳 LNG in Mozambique, Canada, Vietnam
🇦🇷 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: https://t.co/Dd6vj15zIp

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: https://t.co/Dd6vj167xX

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

.@vonderleyen, @WBHoekstra, @Keir_Starmer, @JustinTrudeau, @POTUS, we count on you to land an OECD deal that can free up $41 bn/yr in oil & gas finance for climate action. The time  is now, don’t waste this opportunity. https://t.co/Dd6vj15zIp #StopFundingFossils.

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

.@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?

[The Big Shift Global @bigshiftglobal]

The @WorldBank and #MDBs cannot be climate bankers while still being fossil fuel bankers.
Big Shift members on the ground at #COP29Baku react to the MDBs' joint announcement on #climatefinance

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

📍#WBGMeetings

The World Bank's private sector arm, @IFC_org, has an obligation to prevent its finance from contributing to climate change harms.

What standards should it be holding itself to? Join us today for a panel with civil society, UN & IFC.

❗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."
