Call on the African Development Bank to finance a sustainable future

The African Development Bank continues to channel finance to harmful industries, and allows the expansion of the fossil industry. 

The Bank has the potential to shift the scales, and finance the African future we are fighting for. We want to see energy that benefits Africans and why we’re asking for cutting edge, clean, affordable, renewables.


Join us in calling for the African Development Bank to finance climate action centred on gender responsiveness, human rights and African solutions.

Communities are facing the impacts of the climate crisis today. It's time the World Bank championed the solutions. 

The World Bank is positioning fossil gas as a transition fuel. But we know that continuing to invest in fossil gas only prolongs countries' dependency on fossil fuels and risks leaving them locked into decades more pollution and stranded assets. The World Bank is lagging behind, and so are its projects. Cutting-edge, clean, sustainable, renewable energy systems that put people and planet first are what communities are calling for.

Watch our video to see how bad fossil gas really is for our economies.
