8 questions you had about @Oxfam’s @WorldBank climate finance report —answered. oxfam.org/en/blogs/8-que…

Current levels of climate finance are woefully inadequate, and we desperately need much more of it. We also need to know that the money is being used effectively. @Oxfam found that up to $41 billion in @WorldBank climate finance is unaccounted for. 👉 oxf.am/ClimateFinance…

#COP29 NEWS ➡️ Climate Resilient Debt Clause now covers all natural disasters & health emergencies expanding lifeline to small states hit by disasters. ➡️Multilateral Development Banks to boost climate finance with $120B per year for low & middle income countries by 2030.



An @Oxfam audit of the @WorldBank's climate financing found that the money the Bank claims it disbursed could be off by as much as $41.3 billion. Poor record-keeping is at the center of the discrepancies. @TriplePundit triplepundit.com/story/2024/wor…

Who can’t afford to get ill? The missing target in the World Bank’s drive for Universal Health Coverage. The #IDA21 policy package must measure what matters – and what matters is billions are being forced into poverty and hardship by the cost of care. views-voices.oxfam.org.uk/2024/11/who-ca…

.@Oxfam says $41 billion of the @WorldBank's climate spending "effectively unaccounted for." The Bank has pledged tens of billions to climate projects but can’t say how much was actually spent due to poor record-keeping. @ICIJorg @DavidKenner icij.org/news/2024/11/o…

#DYK the World Bank is the largest multilateral provider of climate finance? Our paper finds that nearly 40% of all climate funds disbursed by the World Bank are unaccounted for. Learn how this could undermine trust in global climate finance efforts: policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/clim…

The @IFC_org is not properly tracking greenhouse gas emissions, effectively evaluating less polluting alternatives, or putting in place appropriate mitigation measures. @devex devex.com/news/ifc-watch…

Care is a Human Right! #RightToCare On #InternationalDayofCare let’s value care work—often unpaid and undervalued, especially for women & marginalised communities. It's time to recognise, redistribute, & reward it fairly. 🔁 Share to show you care! 💖 Credit: Amine Ouadrhiri

⚠️With forecasts of high public #debt levels + low growth, @WorldBank & @IMFNews's have failed to fulfil their mandate. ❌In the face of inequality & a #ClimateEmergency, they've stuck to tried & failed recipes. Read our #AnnualMeetings reaction ➡️ ow.ly/5Xtb50TTAUA

Records on what the World Bank spends to help countries fight climate change are spotty and inconsistent, @markgongloff says trib.al/6ivgn0f via @opinion


The @WorldBank somehow lost track of at least $24 billion. The largest public bankroller of projects to help countries fight climate change has an enormous accounting gap, according to @Oxfam @opinion @markgongloff bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

An @Oxfam analysis of 17 recent @IMFNews programs found that for every $1 the IMF encouraged countries to spend on social protection, it told them to cut $4 through austerity measures. @CADTM_int cadtm.org/IMF-and-BRICS-…

"In the proposed #IDA21 policy package, there are no country level commitments on gender equality. Can you explain how we can interpret this as anything other than a step backwards from IDA and the @WorldBank on gender?" said @Oxfam's @talphil2005 at the #AM2024 IDA Forum.
