“As we move to IDA22, we need to focus on energy... It impacts development, it impacts climate, and it impacts human development.”

Some countries are forced to spend as much 💰️ repaying debts as they need to tackle climate change.
The debt and climate crises must be addressed together, to ensure that no-one is left behind in the energy transition.

At @COP30 rich countries insisted on a private finance-led just transition.
📉This model has failed to deliver the needed funds.
💸For the transition to succeed, we need a public finance-led approach.

🚨In the final stretch of #COP30, we need to be very clear:
📣A just transition away from fossil fuels needs public money, and rich countries need to pay their fair share 📣
The COP30 Presidency risks derailing the entire negotiations by saying otherwise oilchange.org/news/oil-chang…

Now happening in the Philippines: fisherfolk & climate campaigners are prepping a protest at sea in Batangas 🇵🇭—center of massive gas build-out (LNG terminals & power plants).
This is part of the Global Day of Action vs gas expansion & launch of #DontGasTheSouth campaign 1/2 – at Batangas City, Calabarzon

🚨Korea has just joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance at #COP30 - a late but welcome step. But, Korea is yet to take any serious action on oil & gas and still provides huge taxpayer-backed 💸 for international fossil fuel projects.

A just transition is only truly just when it protects the rights of all peoples.
Today, we join movements worldwide calling for a people-centred transition that puts life and dignity over profit. Together, we mobilise for change.

PSA Executive Director Mohamed Adow writes that this is Africa's moment at COP30. It's time to move from empty promises to real action.
Adow reminds us that a “just transition” cannot be designed in boardrooms; it must be owned by the people whose livelihoods are on the line.

💰How do we scale climate finance to $1.3 trillion per year by 2035?💰
The "Baku to Belém Roadmap", published yesterday by @UNFCCC, intends to answer this very question.

🚨 RED FLAG: @MIGA is considering a guarantee for Standard Chartered Bank's subsidiaries in Pakistan, Zambia & Ghana.
Amounting to $160 million, the guarantee could fuel more fossil gas expansion and undermine climate goals.
Details below 🧵

⛏️ @atm_philippines rates the @ADB_HQ as Severely Off Track (Score: 1️⃣) 🚨 on its Energy Policy Review.
ADB is backtracking on its stance against mining 🪨 and still lacks real fossil fuel divestment 🛢️🔥.
🌿 Communities & ecosystems pay the price. 💔✊💚

🔥 @IndusConsortium gives the @ADB_HQ a 0️⃣ — Worst Performance!
ADB’s Energy Policy still props up fossil gas 🛢️, coal ⛏️ & big dams 💦 — destroying lands, waters & our future.
This isn’t a transition — it’s greenwashing & betrayal.
The Big Shift Global retweeted
⚠️@ADB_HQ Energy Policy Review score 0/5
The ADB calls itself a “climate bank” but still funds fossil gas, coal & extractives, while backing false “transition” tech like nuclear & hydropower.
A setback for #ClimateJustice.
