“Climate finance should be a form of compensation for the damage caused to lower income countries that have not caused the climate crisis.
"Instead, the vast majority of climate finance is in the form of loans, adding to debt levels.”

Vital reading from @Independent on how flooding in Nepal could pile billions onto its national debt if rich countries don't pay what they owe.
As our policy adviser Tess says in the piece 👇
"Rich countries that have built their wealth on climate-wrecking emissions cannot ignore the billions of dollars of damage now facing Nepal. They must urgently pay what they owe, as grants, not loans."

Devastating floods have caused billions of dollars of damage in #Nepal, and cost thousands of lives.

We welcome new rules requiring bailiffs to be accredited by the sector regulator.
