The World Bank poured 3.7 billion dollars into fossil fuels around the world last year despite repeated promises to refocus on shifting to a low-carbon economy, according to research from campaign group Ungewald.

The money went through a special form of funding known as trade finance, which is used to facilitate global transactions and is more opaque than standard project finance.

" being subsidised at rate of $13m a minute, says

"Fossil fuels benefited from record subsidies of $13m (£10.3m) a minute in 2022, according to the International Monetary Fund, despite being the primary cause of the climate crisis.

The analysis found the total subsidies for oil, gas and coal in 2022 were $7tn (£5.5tn). That is equivalent to 7% of global and almost double what the world spends on . Countries have pledged to phase out subsidies for years to ensure the price of fossil fuels reflects their true environmental costs, but have achieved little to date."
...
"The nations, which cause 80% of global emissions, pledged to phase out “inefficient” fossil fuel subsidies in 2009. However, the G20 poured a record $1.4tn (£1.1tn) into fossil fuel subsidies in 2022, according an estimate by the International Institute for Sustainable Development thinktank. The reported in June that fossil fuel and agricultural subsidies combined could amount to $12tn (£9.5tn) a year and were causing “environmental havoc”.

Many people may be tempted to view the World Bank’s recent announcement that it will freeze new loans to Uganda because of the country’s vicious anti-LGBTIQ+ law as a harbinger of the Bank taking a more progressive approach to human rights issues.

Halts New Loans over anti- + law

I had seen earlier stories about the World Bank deliberating on this action.

I wonder if it will do the same with other countries that criminalise homosexuality.

The ILGA World Database shows 64 countries with such laws.

I would be really interested in hearing from people in the know about the World Bank on the deliberations that led to this decision.
