The agreement being negotiated at the @OECD could free up $41bn a year in public finance that could be shifted to support #renewables. "This OECD agreement would put an end to subsidies for new fossil fuel projects overseas. I urge the South Korean government to join other OECD nations in agreeing this historic international deal and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels." - Mary Robinson #StopFundingFossilFuels

🇺🇸 The US may join 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇴🇳🇿in forging a deal at the @OECD to end $41 billion/yr in public finance for fossil fuels. 🇰🇷Korea is now the biggest obstacle to a deal. Talks start TODAY. @MOTIEKoreaEng @moefkorea_eng - don't block a clean energy future. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

In a huge blow to US commitments to STOP funding overseas fossil fuels, @EXIMChair just approved $500 Million for oil and gas wells in Bahrain. This is on top of the almost $1 billion that @EXIMBankUS invested in fossil fuel projects in 2023 🤦‍♀️

🚨 Great job alert 🚨

At the #WBmeetings in Marrakech, President Ajay Banga said the @WorldBank is still investing in fossil gas, which he claims is a transition fuel. We spoke to 3️⃣ Big Shift members, here's what they have to say on that...🧵

Our panel at #WBmeetings kicks off with moderator @shereent @MenaFem: “We understand that @WorldBank & @IFC_org declared that they will not fund #fossilfuels anymore. But the Bank IS still investing in coal." Many❓to be answered over the course of this discussion...

#Fossilgas projects still find support from public finance as well as MDB’s policies despite their promises of aligning with the #ParisAgreement. Public funding for fossil gas in Asia and Africa still outpace that for clean energy projects between 2016 to 2022.

World Bank, No Thanks! We don't want #fossilfuels! Today civil society gathered outside the @WorldBank @IMFNews #AM2023 to call for a complete phase out of fossil fuel finance and for #debt cancellation

❗️Fossil fuel projects backed by @WorldBank - past & present - have caused irreversible harm to the health & livelihoods of local communities. Their voices have gone unheard. Until now. We sent journalists to 🇦🇷Argentina🇪🇬 Egypt🇮🇩Indonesia. Please RT🔁bit.ly/46EDDpI

#ClimateAction is being undermined. There is a lack of ambition. A lack of trust. A lack of support. A lack of cooperation. And an abundance of problems around clarity and credibility. It’s time to wake up and step up.

#EndFossilFuels Today #COP28 President will be at the UN Bonn conference centre. This is the first thing he will see after entering the building for #SB58 meeting. #ClimateJustice

As #SB58 opens today, it's timely to take stock of how discussions on fossil fuel phase-out have evolved under the #UNFCCC since COP27 🧵

Good to see fossil fuel phase out making the headline of the first #ECO at #SB58 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

TODAY: on the 1st day of @AfDB_Group Annual Meeting, Big Shift & allies from across Africa are calling for the Bank to tackle the energy & climate crises being felt acutely across the continent. Read more: tinyurl.com/2wxx3d97 #StopFundingFossils #DontGasAfrica #AfDBAM2023

The #G7 released its communique. Here is what we think 🧵: 🚨Leaders in Hiroshima concluded that there is “an important role” for “increased deliveries of LNG” and that “publicly supported gas investments can be appropriate” priceofoil.org/2023/05/20/cso…

#LossAndDamage: new report shows that #FossilFuel companies owe $281bn/y in reparations to communities harmed by climate destruction. “This is the next step in holding fossil fuel companies accountable for climate impacts.” @eribears @CIEL_tweets 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…

G7 leaders must fulfil their promise to stop funding fossil fuels climatechangenews.com/2023/05/18/g7-…
