#EIBGlobal should come along with @EIB to finally establish proper human rights & environmental due diligence. Without taking more responsibility for impacts of its operations, @EIBGlobal will remain just a PR exercise.

Supporting the rights of herders in Mongolia is not a crime! Sukhgerel Dugersuren is at risk of arrest due to her environmental & human rights protection work. @unmongolia @EUinMongolia @presidentmgl @ParliamentMN

[Mary Lawlor @MaryLawlorhrds]

1)I'm hearing disturbing reports from Mongolia that environmental WHRD Sukhgerel Dugersuren is at risk of arrest due to her environmental protection work. It comes after a warning from Min of Just that those whose actions "disrupt strategic development projects"in Mongolia...

🆕After launching @EIBGlobal without any improvements in #transparency, safeguards & stakeholders engagement, over 20 CSOs call on @EIB to change approach and involve civil society in a constructive dialogue about its procedures.

If @EIB is serious about being @EIBGlobal, it has to invest in human rights due diligence and in meaningful dialogue with CSOs. @eurodad @ceebankwatch @RoggenbuckA @UdoBullmann

[Udo Bullmann 🇪🇺 @UdoBullmann]

Hosted a constructive exchange today on the new @EIB Global. It is crucial to ensure local ownership, enhance work towards #SDG implementation and fight inequalities to make development financing meaningful 🏦🌍 Thank you @eurodad and my fellow panelists for the fruitful debate!

Great to see solidarity with Ukraine🇺🇦 at #EBRDam! The next step should be to terminate Russian membership in international public banks such as #EBRD.

[CEE Bankwatch Network @ceebankwatch]

Today, Bankwatch together with 20 CSOs call on @EBRD to strengthen their #HumanRights risks & impact assessments and provide for timely, 2-way, transparent, accessible and safe public participation!🤞

[Ola Antonowicz-Cyglicka @OAntonowicz]

@EIB @EU_ENV @EU_Commission @Energy4Europe @Counter_Balance @ceebankwatch @GreenpeaceEU @foeeurope @EUClimateAction @Greenpeace The @EIB and @EIBGlobal have great development aspirations, but their #sustainability framework has dangerous gaps that will come back to haunt them. See @ceebankwatch piece for today: https://t.co/1WUThcB6H8

@EIB @OstrosThomas @EU_Partnerships @EUClimateAction @Energy4Europe @MarjutFalksted @EU_Commission @ceebankwatch @foeeurope @Greenpeace Lots of @EIB Directors at the #EIBConsultation today.

So there's no excuse for them not to know about the #HumanRights abuses they need to stamp out by strengthening #ESSF safeguarding standards tomorrow.

They should read our letter explaining how ✏️

[Ola Antonowicz-Cyglicka @OAntonowicz]

Human rights impact assessment has to be restored to @EIB policy to be approved tomorrow. Without proper due diligence, @EIBGlobal can end up as a global problem.

[CEE Bankwatch Network @ceebankwatch]

Tomorrow, the @EIB’s Directors must finally insist on adequate human rights impact assessments as part of the Bank’s environmental and social policy. The new #ESSF framework cannot be worse than the existing one.

It's good to hear this declaration by the EIB President, as so far @EIB is 'second to none' in ignoring civil society and our asks.

[CEE Bankwatch Network @ceebankwatch]

REAX: 'We welcome the commitment to make @EIB ‘second to none’ when it comes to protecting #HumanRights & #environment. A good place to start is by screening projects to make sure these do no harm to people and nature and requiring clients to do the same.' https://t.co/MbNuQJeWVP

Alert!@EIB changes its policy framework, which misses #humanrights procedures, puts double standards on protecting #biodiversity, not mentioning about secrecy schemes for intermediaries. EU govts need to change it @vchadw @LizFordGuardian @l_guillot @Westervangaal @KiraTaylor15

[CEE Bankwatch Network @ceebankwatch]

From Nepal to Kenya, projects enabled by @EIB damaged nature and led to human rights violations.

In 2 weeks, when a new enviro&social policy is decided, EU govts must ensure EU public money no longer endangers #HumanRights & nature but helps protect them.
