Bank unveils green loans plan to unlock trillions for climate finance
Briefly

An innovative strategy proposed by Avinash Persaud advocates for public funding to support renewable energy loans in developing countries, potentially generating tens of billions for climate finance. At an upcoming UN meeting, Persaud hopes to rally support for this plan that could reshape green investments and ultimately meet the $1.3 trillion annual climate finance target by 2035. Meanwhile, a report from Oil Change International reveals high-income nations plan to expand fossil fuel extraction, revealing a stark contradiction to their climate commitments ahead of critical upcoming climate summits.
