The @WorldBank, @the_IDB & @IMFNews use public funding to attract investments in new oil development. Their finance programs exacerbate public debt & contribute to the #climatecrisis by leading countries to become even more dependent on #fossilfuels. Let's 👀 at Suriname f.e. ⬇️

The @IMFNews, @the_IDB & @WorldBank talk a lot about supporting a “just transition” away from fossil fuels, but they're doing the opposite in #Suriname. #StopTotal & #Exxon rejoice upon the $1billion in public funding to be poured into oil development. climatechangenews.com/2022/0…

World Bank and IMF are courting big oil in debt-laden Suriname

Instead of supporting a “just transition” away from fossil fuels, international financiers are offering Suriname $1 billion to enable massive oil investments
