It is unacceptable that the @ADB_HQ lacks a policy/plan to ensure responsible exit from projects that cause demonstrable harm. The bank cannot simply walk away without guardrails, leaving behind a trail of unresolved risks
& vulnerabilities: We shall hold them accountable!

Indigenous communities get a long deserved victory for their grassroots campaign as @ADB_HQ cancels $434 million loan & assistance for a environmentally disastrous 500 MW large solar PV facility, Assam Solar Park, in Karbi Anglong District, on 23rd May 2025. Press release:

[NGO Forum on ADB | #nofalsesolutions ✊ @forum_adb]

On Day 3 of @ACEF_Forum, @350Pilipinas, 350 Asia, @AsianPeoplesMvt, and Forum network staged a creative protest at @ADB_HQ on #WorldEnvironmentDay.

#ADB: You can’t clean up the climate with dirty finance.

[Anusha Ravi Sood @anusharavi10]

People are emotional. A crowd is mostly foolish. Fans are mad crazy. All of that is true.

That's exactly why governments have to be better, plan better, execute better.

A government or people in government cannot let emotion get the better of logic or logistics. Stampede at RCB's victory celebration is a monumental failure of preparedness. Those responsible must be held accountable.

This win is a testament to people's power, and the dedication of the communities and our partners. Development cannot come at the expense of people, land, culture, and rights!

How Modi Govt has subtly deployed the RSS in G20 Summit:

India hosts the G20 Summit next week.

A part of the G20 Summit are "engagement groups" which are formed around a variety of topics

One of them is called C20 - an engagement group for civil society

Who is leading it? 👇

The countries of the Global South lose the greatest share of their tax revenues to #TaxAbuse. We demand a global inclusive, democratic and transparent process to negotiate new standards! We want a #UNTaxConvention!

[Coalition for Human Rights in Development 🌎 @RightsinDevt]

The @ADB_HQ will be shortly revising its safeguards. It's the perfect occasion to strenghten its policies and commit to #zerotolerance against reprisals + have protocols to *actually* comply with the updated safeguards.
