NEW briefing from @brettonwoodspr on the first year of @WorldBank Paris-aligned energy lending: $13bn of $19bn committed flowed through opaque policy-based lending instrument - Development Policy Financing - where citizens/CSOs are often not consulted on proposed reforms! 👀

In a new briefing published today, we look at what @WorldBank's Paris alignment approach has meant for its lending in the energy sector We find that green conditionality via 'policy based lending' dwarfed direct investments in renewable energy: tinyurl.com/WBGParisYearOne 🧵 1/

in a sane world this would have happeend 20 years ago. if your country's politicians aren't saying this during the US-Israel-Iran War...throw them out. "We need homegrown clean power that we can control"
Farrukh@implausibleblog

Ed Miliband, "The price of gas is set on the international market, whether it comes from the north sea, or is imported" "We're price taker and not a price maker" "There is one lesson from this crisis, and only one lesson" "We need homegrown clean power that we can control" "We cannot keep being on this fossil fuel roller coaster" Thank you for the clear explanation @Ed_Miliband - please do this every time the subject is raised and get the message across 👏

agree w Erica. Disruptions mean Countries will rush to exit US-led oil order. Worst case scenario for oil ceos (best for rest of us) is that people permanently shift...what they call “demand destruction“ Iran war will accelerate ongoing shift to solar+EVs+batteries. ie CN winner

One of Erica's main conclusions: In the short term, the war will increase pain on China's economy. In the medium term, the war will likely accelerate global demand for Chinese batteries, solar panels and more.

In his deposition, DOGE employee Justin Fox said he used AI to tag DEI grants to cancel — without ever instructing the AI on what DEI is. Among the grants terminated was a $350k grant to replace an aging HVAC system at the High Point Museum in North Carolina. The AI flagged it because the grant stated, ‘Improving HVAC systems enhances preservation conditions for collections, aligning with the goal of providing greater access to diverse audiences.’

Milei campaigned as "the mole" who'd destroy the state from within. Turns out a president who doesn't believe in government isn't great at managing an economic crisis. Argentina needs actual governance, with an economic strategy, not a chainsaw. newsweek.com/u-s-bailout-ar…

At the plenary session of the @IMFNews and @WorldBank #annualmeetings2025: the institutions double down on a private finance first model to support sustainable development, but the evidence shows that this is a risky bet. The inside rhetoric does not match the outside reality.

🚨Breaking🚨 IMF's Mark Flanagan says we need to advocate for statutory approaches to debt restructuring that make sense. Time for UK debt legislation that compels private creditors to the table.

CSO space literally shrunk this year at the @WorldBank's town hall, with a big round-stage set up taking up half the room and civil society following the event in overflow rooms. Many questions are still to be answered. #WBMeetings #AMCSO25
