💰 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

#FinanceInCommon2025 #FiCS 🌍 250+ civil society groups call on development banks to champion a new era of development finance by putting human rights, community leadership & environmental sustainability at the core of all their decisions. 🗞️ Press release rightsindevelopment.org/news/pr-fics25/

The #Mission300 declaration is out, following last month's Energy Summit in Tanzania 📜 African & global civil society have "reacted with dismay" to see #FossilGas & #NuclearEnergy promoted by the initiative @dontgasafrica.bsky.social press release ➡️ dont-gas-africa.org/mission-300/ Our reaction⤵️

We look forward to joining @rightsindevt.bsky.social and other civil society organisations at the #FinanceInCommon2025 Summit next week. To achieve a truly just #EnergyTransition, public financiers should be investing in 100% renewable energy systems, putting people’s rights & needs before profit.

At #PrepCom3 for #FfD4 on Thursday, delegations debated options to address debt sustainability, with many developing countries supporting a proposal to establish a multilateral sovereign debt mechanism Read ➡️ enb.iisd.org/precom3-inte... #FfD #sustdev #finance

Civil society access to the Financing for Development negotiations #FfD4 is at risk. The next phase of talks may be kept behind closed doors 🔒🚪 Decisions that affect us all shouldn't be made in the dark. Without civil society there, who will hold decision-makers accountable? #KeepCSOsInTheRoom

Our #AnnualReport is out now, and it's much more than just another annual report! As the world is engulfed in the climate crisis, conflicts and systemic injustices, it might seem impossible to find hope. Yet, in 2024, we have seen more and more communities holding powerful actors accountable.

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 💎🧵

💰 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 👇

🇻🇳 The International Finance Corporation is indirectly facilitating a wave of #coal projects in Vietnam, that will breach the coal capacity limits agreed under the country's just transition deal. 🚨 Yet another case of an IFC financial intermediary supporting new coal. New research 👉 bit.ly/IFC-coal

🚨 We’re excited to launch EndCoalFinance.org — a new platform to track and expose the banks likely to finance a new wave of coal expansion in Asia. It’s time to hold them accountable and #EndCoalFinance, NOW! 🌍💪

❓Why should #FfD4 be a #feminist agenda? ✅Because a system that works for #women, works for EVERYONE. @shereentt.bsky.social Join us for day 2 of #EurodadIC25 online t.co/isVnk7ovup @observatoriodg.bsky.social, @oxfamintermon.bsky.social, @actionaideu.bsky.social
