An excellent and insightful report by my colleague Marj Pamintuan 👇

A new "Tropical Forest Forever Facility" is expected to launch at #COP30. But can the #TFFF really protect forests & the rights of those who call them home? 40+ orgs sent these concerns👉 rainforestfoundationuk.org/a-new-multi-billion-dollar-fund-could-be-a-lifeline-for-the-worlds-besieged-forests/

Annual Report drop! In 2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣, we worked with partners and coalitions around the world to advocate for stronger accountability mechanisms, call for better climate finance, and influence international financial institutions. Read about all this and more in our Annual Report 👉 bit.ly/A-R-2024

Why is our aid money *still* invested in fossil fuel assets? No wonder the government is trying to keep this secret. As I argue here, this is trapping poorer countries into a type of energy which is on its way out, all the while profiting fossil fuel companies.

"Willis tells Carbon Brief that these investments and the continued payments from existing commitments “clearly go against the spirit of the UK government’s fossil fuel policy”." Very pleased to speak to @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social about this fantastic investigation into BII's fossil fuel assets 👇

Despite the Asian Development Bank's commitment global climate goals, its technical assistance is still supporting #FossilGas — a highly polluting fossil fuel that is risky for economies, communities and the environment. 📽️ Rajneesh Bhuee #ADBAnnualMeeting @adb.org 📃Read the briefing bit.ly/ADB-TA25

Technical assistance: A small share of Asian Development Bank financing, but a huge influence on economic policies and energy pathways in developing countries It's time the @adb.org excluded #FossilGas from all forms of financing Read the briefing 📑 bit.ly/ADB-TA25 #ADBNews More 🧵

The Asian Development Bank has committed substantial funding to renewables 💰, but much of this is high-risk or unclear projects, and may prolong fossil fuel reliance ⚠️ A new assessment of the bank's progress on the just energy transition is available now: bit.ly/BoR-25 #ADBNews More in thread 🧵

💰 A new review of @ifcorg.bsky.social's Sustainability Framework can help make trillions of $ of finance more responsible. 📖 @kategeary.bsky.social and I wrote for @devex.com on why IFC must use this opportunity to introduce a new safeguard on financial intermediary lending 👇 tinyurl.com/aw4h3dx3

The IFC is reviewing its Sustainability Framework, a move that could impact $4.5 trillion in financial flows. Kate Geary and @djw14.bsky.social from @re-course.org argue the review could help ensure investments are more environmentally and socially responsible. #finance #investment #opinion

Today, civil society groups will meet with the Asian Development Bank to discuss critical minerals for the #EnergyTransition These minerals (eg lithium, nickel, bauxite) are vital components of clean energy technologies. But how they are mined, and who benefits, matters. #JustMinerals 💎🧵

Shocking vandalism. Incredibly worrying for what the next four years will look like for multilateralism.

Corporations say they care about climate but are using loopholes to conduct business as usual. The latest loophole: sustainability-linked loans. $286 BILLION of these loans were given to polluting industries, like fossil fuels, mining, and agriculture. www.theexamination.org/articles/how...

🚨 Our latest research from @re-course.org on how IFC is financing environmental and social harms in Vietnam 👇 #StopFundingFossils #EndCoalFinance

💰 A classic example of the problem with financial intermediary lending, which hands power over development to profit-driven private banks. Proud of Recourse's work to stand in solidarity with affected communities in the Philippines, to stop IFC sweeping this historic case under the carpet 👇
