🚨 New report 🚨 An over-reliance on private finance to fund a just energy transition is prolonging the fossil fuel era. Only 38% of the $5.7 trillion in global annual funding needed is flowing. āž”ļøRead more oilchange.org/publications/l…

Two years ago, the The World Bank said it would align with the Paris Agreement. Today: still funding climate chaos. 🚫 End fossil fuel finance 🌱 Back a just energy transition šŸ’ø Deliver climate finance without debt #FFD4 is time to shift the power and fund climate justice.

World Bank Group guarantees — not as aligned with the #ParisAgreement as it claims? On the anniversary of MIGA's claim to have aligned all of its operations with global climate action, NEW RESEARCH links the guarantee agency with new fossil fuels bit.ly/MIGA25 #FfD4

A just transition can’t run on colonial economics. Pay Up • Cancel the Debt • Change the System. Seville’s #FfD4 must go big or go home. #JustTransition #SystemChange

The World Bank still pours > $1 billion a year into fossils. Institutions fueling the crisis can’t lead the fix. End fossil lending and deliver grants, not loans.Ā  #MakePollutersPay #FfD4People

What does gas bring to Africa? Chaos. From land grabs and violent insurgencies to political conflict, the destruction caused by extractive industries knows no bounds! Enough is enough! #DontGasAfrica #stopEACOP

The Global South needs renewable energyā˜€ļø Africa has 60% of the world's best solar resources yet it receives a fraction of global investment & millions still don't access to reliable electricity. This needs to change šŸ‘‰ bigshiftglobal.org #RenewablesNow Power Shift Africa

Africa gets just 2% of global clean energy investment-yet 570M+ lack electricity, 900M rely on polluting fuels. This is a justice issue. We need more funding for locally led energy solutions now. #JustTransition #EnergyJustice

While communities face climate chaos, we know who reaps the benefits - and who pays the price. It’s time to end public financing for fossil fuels and demand a just transition led by frontline communities. šŸ“¢Join the movement: bigshiftglobal.org #StopFundingFossils

New from Bretton Woods Proj | bsky @brettonwoodsproject.org: Will the World Bank be a partner for a just energy transition in developing countries?

Africa holds 60% of the world’s top solar potential but gets just 3.3% of clean energy investment. This isn’t just a gap. It’s injustice. MDBs must shift funding from fossil chaos to community-led, grant-based renewables. #BigShiftNow #SolarForAfrica

They call fossil gas a ā€œcleanā€ transition fuel. But it’s methane-heavy, 80x worse than COā‚‚, and still drives the climate crisis. šŸ’ø It locks countries into debt šŸŒ Delays real solutions It’s not a bridge - it’s a trap. It's time for real solutions. #StopFundingFossils

We need system change to create a fair, green future for the Global South šŸŒāœŠļø The same systems that caused the climate crisis can’t be trusted to solve it. We need structural change that puts people & the planet before profit. Join the movement: bigshiftglobal.org
