How the host of the #LossAndDamage Fund has been encouraging #fossil expansion in developing countries: a 🧵on @WorldBank involvement in Pakistan

Read more about the nature, funding, and logistics of the lab here: altlawcollective.org/energy-lab Note that deadline for applications has been extended to the 15th of January.

At ALC, we’re assembling a cross-disciplinary cohort for The Energy Lab, an experimental space to critically engage and reimagine Pakistan’s energy infrastructure. Join us: forms.gle/nKp4FqYcx8meTB… Write to us for more information: info@altlawcollective.org

🛑 Gas isn’t a bridge — it’s a trap. LNG terminals + gas plants = decades of emissions. ⏳ No time left for false solutions. @ADB_HQ  must back real clean energy now.

🚫 Gas as a “transition fuel” = debt, danger, dependence. 💸 Renewables are cheaper every year. @ADB_HQ must end gas financing and fund just, people‑powered clean energy.

💸 Gas projects aren’t cheap. They saddle countries with long-term debt while renewable energy gets cheaper every year. @ADB_HQ must stop funding gas and back community‑led clean power.

❌ CCUS + “green” hydrogen are @ADB_HQ’s false solutions to expand gas in Asia. 🚫 Distractions — not climate action. 🌏 The future is fossil‑free — or there’s no future at all.

⚡ @ADB_HQ calls gas a “transition fuel,” but science says new gas = more emissions + more climate chaos. 📉 IPCC is clear: no room for new fossil fuels. We need a real transition that phases gas out completely.

World Bank Group guarantees — not as "green" as they seem?⚠️ New research shows how @MIGA guarantees are boosting big banks’ ability to invest in fossil fuels, including 🇲🇿 🇨🇦🇻🇳 LNG in Mozambique, Canada, Vietnam 🇦🇷 Oil & gas in Argentina bit.ly/MIGA25 #FfD4People

Illegitimate debts and harsh austerity measures are depleting the Global South. We demand a full and unconditional cancellation of unjust debts and austerity. #CancelTheDebt #DebtJusticeNow #UNDebtConvention #FFD4People

🥁🥁🥁 Make #FFD4 matter for people and planet - democratize debt governance NOW! 🚩 Break the chains of debt! Join the Global Days of Action, June 27-29, to demand #PayUp #CanceltheDebt #ChangetheSystem! @cs_ffd @debtgwa Join the Global Days of Action, June 27-29, to demand #PayUp #CanceltheDebt #ChangetheSystem! #UNDebtConvention @cs_ffd @debtgwa @UNESCAP @IPCoficial @pass_blue @Devex @Reuters @FT @EconTimes @AlJazeera @CGDev @IPSnews @IPS_Europe @IPSNewsUNBureau @ThomsonReuters @AP

The current system thrives on making us bleed. We call for a massive transformation of the international financial system. The injustices inherent in this process can no longer continue and the Global South deserves reparations for the harms done to it. #FfD4People #PayUp

We demand an end to the destruction caused by fossil fuels. Fund our future by eliminating fossil fuel finance and supporting community-led renewables! #EndFossilsNow #FundTheEnergyTransition #DefundDirtyEnergy #SystemChangeNow #FFD4People

Climate Reparations Now! The Global North owes a massive climate debt to the Global South. They must #PayUp and deliver non-debt-creating climate finance for communities at the frontlines of the climate crisis. #ClimateFinanceNow #ReparationsNow #FFD4People #SystemChangeNow

Principles of inter-provincial equity must ground consensus building when it comes to provincial actions and targets. The process must be historically informed and attentive to the inequities in climate impacts and resources between the provinces.

Emissions & vulnerability profiles of different federating units in 🇵🇰 are also not uniform or homogenous. Similarly, their socio-ecological dynamics & population density are also distinct, requiring a customised approach towards their role in the materialisation of NDC targets.

One of the Paris Agreement’s highest objectives was to limit global temp rise to an avg of 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels Deemed essential to global survival, this goal fails to capture the intensity of existential challenges faced by climate vulnerable nations such as 🇵🇰 🧵
