The @WorldBankGroup must stop backing #FossilGas and #FalseSolutions.
Public finance should support renewable energy systems that expand access & protect communities, not lock countries into risky and volatile energy pathways.

Well done @K_Mokgonyana for exposing the World Bank IFC for promoting big western private sector interests over African economic, climate and environmental security.
"Development finance should be about expanding choices for countries, not locking them into outdated energy systems."
🗞️ New op-ed by Karabo Mokgonyana of @PowerShftAfrica calls out the contradictions of @IFC_org backing new fossil gas projects in Africa

Study shows that going net zero with clean energy would bring down energy bills at least five times further than maximising oil and gas production.

Multilateral development banks have a legal obligation to stop financing fossil fuels.
Led by @BankClimateAdvo, civil society groups have put MDBs & their shareholders on notice, incl. @AIIB_Official @WorldBankGroup @ADB_HQ

It’s time to talk about a monarchy-free Britain. We need a serious, fair and informed debate about the monarchy and the democratic alternative. That alternative is a parliamentary system, taking what we have and making it democratic top to bottom. #AbolishTheMonarchy

As #COP30 unfolds, it’s clear the debate isn’t only about energy & finance targets.
It’s about power: who controls it, who benefits, & who is left behind.
@AlisonDoig & @sunilnpl examine if MDBs are ready to finance a truly people-powered transition:

In this article for #COP30, @AlisonDoig and I argue that Multilateral Development Banks must undergo a radical shift if they are to mobilise climate finance for energy transition. 1/2

The #COP30 negotiations cannot be solely about numbers and emissions targets. They must be about power, both electrical and political.
In this article, @AlisonDoig & @sunilnpl ask whether the MDBs are fit to finance a truly just transition to renewables.

The @IMFNews needs to get serious about sustainable development.
In its upcoming Conditionalities & Program Design review, the IMF must ensure that its programmes:
✅ align with the #ParisAgreement
✅ support clean development pathways
❌ leave fossil fuels behind

In Argentina, debt repayments are draining the very resources urgently needed for climate resilience and a just transition.
The country has the largest IMF debt of any country.

ALT Argentina’s experience shows how IMF programs can lock countries into austerity and fossil fuel dependency. We need policies that prioritize people and the planet — not fiscal targets that deepen inequality and environmental harm. Headshot of Julia Gerlo, working at FARN Argentina.
