Africa cannot afford to build its future on fossil-funded banks. The African Energy Bank, financed by oil and gas interests, is not the answer.
If we are serious about a just transition, then public finance must lead the wayfinancing renewable energy, community resilience, and technological transfer. Private finance will always chase profit, but public finance should chase justice.

Weasel words and the age of climate delay

Efforts at COP28 to insert weasel words like “unabated” are linked to false narratives about technologies like carbon capture, utilization and storage, allowing us to have our cake and eat it too.

Zusammen mit vielen anderen Organisationen fordern wir in #Marrakesch die @WorldBank@twitter.com

The Dutch gov went with 4 - 5 billion to fossil grants

#ExtinctionRebellion calculated much more with around 37.5 billion

But it turns out it's 40 - 46 billion  

@extinctionrebellionnl is not doing these protest for fun but because it's drastically needed!

#StopFundingFossils

Oil & gas companies received $20+ billion from Ottawa last year – and made more than $38 bn in profits. Canadians have sent 138,000 letters demanding that Ottawa stop handing their tax dollars to the industry.

Will @cafreeland listen and fully #StopFundingFossils? 👀

Canada Is On Fire:

Tell Trudeau to Stop Funding Climate Chaos
It’s only June, and Canada is already bracing for the worst forest fire season on record. Communities are being evacuated from coast to coast and millions are facing unprecedented wildfire smoke and dangerous air quality.

Trudeau claims to care, but his government continues to make the problem worse. While fires rage across the country, Canada is funnelling billions of taxpayer dollars into the oil and gas industry that's fuelling the climate crisis.

It’s time to end all public funding to Big Oil.

Take action today and tell the federal government to stop using our public dollars to finance climate chaos.

I just signed the
@350Canada
petition calling on Trudeau to end all subsidies and public financing for the fossil fuel industry. Add your name! #StopFundingFossils

Trudeau: Stop Funding Fossil Fuels

Big Oil is making record profits while fuelling the climate disasters devastating our communities. Sign the petition calling on the government to stop using our public dollars to finance pollution, environmental destruction, and injustice.
