The 2022 floods in Pakistan cost $40 billion in loss and damage, but the #LossAndDamage Fund has received less than $700 million in pledges. The Global South needs $5 trillion a year for loss and damage, mitigation, adaptation and just transition.

What a week! 🔥 On Friday, the global week of action against @mufgbk_official concluded with actions in Pakistan, Germany, the Netherlands and France.

MUFG, say no to Papua LNG and @TotalEnergies. There’s no space for new gas projects in a climate safe future. 🌎

[The Big Shift Global @bigshiftglobal]

The @ADB_HQ needs to stop✋prioritising gas export for profit & start thinking about the needs of communities.

🇵🇰Coastal communities in Pakistan are already vulnerable to climate change & the financing of the LNG terminal at Port Qasim has devastated those living nearby.

[The Big Shift Global @bigshiftglobal]

We were told that gas projects were the solution to helping countries develop, but all it has done has increased the mounting debt📈

This is felt in Pakistan, where investments in LNG benefited private corporations & exacerbated the climate crisis already felt by communities.

[The Big Shift Global @bigshiftglobal]

The @ADB_HQ needs to put people & planet first, financing projects that are Paris-aligned & debt-sustainable, as highlighted by Hussain Jarwar. #ADBAnnualMeeting #EndFossilFinance

[The Big Shift Global @bigshiftglobal]

NEW: report from @RecourseTeam @TrendAsia_Org, @forum_adb & @inclusivedevt highlights cont'd @ADB_HQ financing of coal.

@bigshiftglobal @WorldBank branding gas as a transitional fuel won't work!

@IndusConsortium demands MDB's to work towards climate justice and halt fossil funding and redirect resources to prevent climate breakdown at #COP28UAE
#StopFundingFossils
#NoGasFinance

[Izzah Batool @izzahbatool9]

The MDBs should acknowledge the dedication to adhere to the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C trajectory, with no allowance for the expansion of fossil fuels.

Recourse has just launched a new paper with Indus Consortium, Trend Asia, and Senik Centre Asia: The Technical Assistance Paradox: how World Bank and ADB advisory services are 'assisting' dependency on fossil gas. Please help promote by retweeting this: https://t.co/lGZAyCu4ES

1/5 As @COP28_UAE President addresses the Multilateral Development Banks next week, will he demand that they close loopholes for #fossilgas?

@WorldBank & @ADB_HQ #technicalassistance for
gas-related projects is entrenching carbon intensive development. https://t.co/9OfF3Rz1Tk
