DoomsdaysCW<p>From the Bretton Woods Project: Continued <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuel</span></a> investments</p><p>"In terms of its direct lending, the Bank’s investments in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> have been criticised for undermining climate goals – with the Bank continuing to fund a considerable number of fossil fuel projects in the years after the Paris Climate Agreement was signed in 2015, which saw countries jointly commit to limit average global temperature rise to 'well below 2°C” relative to preindustrial levels. Despite the Bank’s recent climate commitments (see Observer Spring 2018), CSOs remain concerned that the Bank lacks a comprehensive approach to align its entire lending portfolio with the Paris Agreement. In addition to project finance for oil and gas infrastructure, there are other remaining types of Bank investments that are a cause for concern. The IFC now invests nearly 50 per cent of its portfolio in FI, and a lack of sub-project disclosure in these investments makes it difficult to assess the exposure of these investments to fossil fuels, including coal (see Governance above). However, CSO research has linked IFC FI investments to the construction of 19 new coal-fired power plants in the Philippines, while another report found IFC FI investments linked to 41 new coal plants between 2013 and 2016. While the IFC announced a new Green Equity Strategy in October 2018 that will require new FI clients to divest from coal over time, this policy will not affect past FI investments (see Observer Winter 2018).</p><p>"CSOs are also concerned that the World Bank has thus far not developed a framework to assess the climate impacts of its Development Policy Finance. CSO research has found that in some cases, these contain ‘prior actions’ that benefit the fossil fuel and extractive industries. Finally, the Bank’s Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) has in recent years provided a number of guarantees that have backed fossil-fuel projects. According to CSO research, in FY16, MIGA did not support a single renewable energy project: '[its] guarantees to energy were worth $1.9 billion … of which $0.9 billion went to fossil fuel projects', with the rest going to projects such as hydropower dams, often with detrimental environmental and human rights impacts."</p><p>Report from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OilChangeInternational" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OilChangeInternational</span></a></p><p>Cross Purposes: After Paris, Multilateral Development Banks Still Funding Billions in Fossil Fuels</p><p>October 12, 2017 </p><p>"A new report shows how multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, gave over $9 billion in funding for fossil fuel projects in 2016, nearly all of it following the Paris Agreement being reached and despite claims that they were acting on climate and adjusting their investment strategies."</p><p><a href="https://www.oilchange.org/publications/development-banks-still-funding-fossils/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">oilchange.org/publications/dev</span><span class="invisible">elopment-banks-still-funding-fossils/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HydropowerDams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HydropowerDams</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalImpacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalImpacts</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ParisAgreement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ParisAgreement</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ParisClimateAgreement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ParisClimateAgreement</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CoalFiredPlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CoalFiredPlants</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Phillipines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Phillipines</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IFC_FI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IFC_FI</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MIGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MIGA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldBank</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IMFLoanSharks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IMFLoanSharks</span></a></p>

Since their inception, the BWIs have played a formative role in aiding and abetting the global forces that have caused this market failure, through promoting economic growth as the core component of their development model, despite – as noted in the aforementioned Deaton report – mixed evidence that economic growth and poverty reduction are linked. While the Bank, and to a lesser extent, the Fund, have both increasingly tried to account for environmental and climate factors in their work over recent decades, these efforts have largely been limited to attempting to integrate these concerns into a growth-based development model."</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeGrowth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IMFLoanSharks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IMFLoanSharks</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldBank</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalDegradation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalDegradation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a></p>
