Our new book — Greening the International Monetary Fund (Cambridge University Press, 2025) — examines how climate change has become embedded in the IMF’s work and what this means for global economic governance. 📖 Open access: doi.org/10.1017/978100…

Our findings speak to broader debates on how international organisations evolve when facing new global challenges: through incremental adaptation, not paradigmatic change.

The @USTreasury has put the ongoing @IMFNews Surveillance review at the top of the agenda as they want to stop the Fund’s work on climate. But what’s the IMF’s track record since the 2021 Climate Strategy? Read more in our new @RecourseTeam report bit.ly/IMFsurveillance 🧵1/9

An important and interesting paper!

While the #IMF positions itself as a climate champion, it continues to push austerity, privatisation & fossil fuels on indebted countries, hindering their ability to pursue a just energy transition 🧵 A thread on our latest analysis of @IMFNews loan programs in 51 countries

The #IMF could play a role in setting the economic conditions for climate action worldwide - by supporting renewable energy, green industrial policy, financial regulation & debt cancellation For now, that remains a distant illusion Report 👉bit.ly/IMFclimate #IMFmeetings

Couldn't agree more with Brent Neiman @USTreasury- we need 'more' IMF-but more doesn't just mean more money. The peer reviewed work (see @DreherAxel @Kentikelenis @thomstubbs) shows IMF programs make members worse off, not better. IMF needs major reform: degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

🎥@Kentikelenis and @thomstubbs presented their new book at @SOAS, "A Thousand Cuts: Social Protection in the Age of Austerity," which systematically assesses how austerity has impacted people's lives and livelihoods globally. The presentation also includes new findings on the effects of International Monetary Fund programs on social protection. Watch it now here ⤵️: youtube.com/watch?v=k3Daw_…
