1/4: There's immense wealth in today’s world—enough to fund the fight against climate breakdown.
But much of it lies with individuals and corporations, not governments. #FixTheFinance #MakeRichPollutersPay
🚨Enough is enough! We need to turn the tide on the climate crisis!🌊
It's time to hold governments and banks accountable for their role in the #climatecrisis .
It's time to #FixTheFinance ⌛️
Ajay Banga signalled The World Bank is still a big fan of gas at the #WBGmeetings last week 👎 #GasIsNotGreen
If we’re going to #savetheplanet , we have to stop funding #fossilfuels . It’s just that simple. Now all we need is the political will. Tell the World Bank you care about securing a livable future for generations to come. Go to bit.ly/24WB to take a stand.
Despite climate pledges, the world's top economies pour billions into fossil fuels abroad ⚠️
Friends of the Earth report reveals #G20 & development banks funded $142bn for overseas projects from 2020-2023.
It's time to align actions with promises! #movethemoney

'Gas is dangerous, it contributes to the destruction of our planet. It is not a transition fuel. #Renewables are the solution... The World Bank should stop funding gas.'
