The agreement being negotiated at the @OECD could free up $41bn a year in public finance that could be shifted to support #renewables.
"This OECD agreement would put an end to subsidies for new fossil fuel projects overseas. I urge the South Korean government to join other OECD nations in agreeing this historic international deal and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels." - Mary Robinson

🇺🇸 The US may join 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇴🇳🇿in forging a deal at the @OECD to end $41 billion/yr in public finance for fossil fuels.
🇰🇷Korea is now the biggest obstacle to a deal. Talks start TODAY.
@MOTIEKoreaEng @moefkorea_eng - don't block a clean energy future.

In a huge blow to US commitments to STOP funding overseas fossil fuels, @EXIMChair just approved $500 Million for oil and gas wells in Bahrain.
This is on top of the almost $1 billion that @EXIMBankUS invested in fossil fuel projects in 2023 🤦♀️
Do you want to help shift billions of $ from fossil fuels to clean energy?
We are recruiting for a new role to grow the secretariat of the Clean Energy Transition Partnership. Deadline tomorrow!

At the #WBmeetings in Marrakech, President Ajay Banga said the @WorldBank is still investing in fossil gas, which he claims is a transition fuel. We spoke to 3️⃣ Big Shift members, here's what they have to say on that...🧵
Our panel at #WBmeetings kicks off with moderator @shereent@MenaFem: “We understand that @WorldBank & @IFC_org declared that they will not fund #fossilfuels anymore. But the Bank IS still investing in coal."
Many❓to be answered over the course of this discussion...
#Fossilgas projects still find support from public finance as well as MDB’s policies despite their promises of aligning with the #ParisAgreement. Public funding for fossil gas in Asia and Africa still outpace that for clean energy projects between 2016 to 2022.
World Bank, No Thanks! We don't want #fossilfuels!
Today civil society gathered outside the @WorldBank@IMFNews#AM2023 to call for a complete phase out of fossil fuel finance and for #debt cancellation
❗️Fossil fuel projects backed by @WorldBank - past & present - have caused irreversible harm to the health & livelihoods of local communities.
Their voices have gone unheard. Until now.

#ClimateAction is being undermined.
There is a lack of ambition.
A lack of trust.
A lack of support.
A lack of cooperation.
And an abundance of problems around clarity and credibility.
It’s time to wake up and step up.
#EndFossilFuels
Today #COP28 President will be at the UN Bonn conference centre.
This is the first thing he will see after entering the building for #SB58 meeting.
#ClimateJustice
📢It’s the start of #SB58 and #ECO declares that ‘it’s the beginning of the end of fossil fuels’. 📢This can only be achieved through a fossil fuel phase out that is fast, fair, and full (acronym FFPHFFF) #PeopleNotFossilFuel
