World Bank s climate action plan fails to end financial flows to fossil fuels

WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, the World Bank Group released its new Climate Change Action Plan 2021-2025, which sets target timelines to align its operations with the Paris Agreement, and sets targets to increase climate finance. The plan also commits to support countries on a just transition away from coal and to reduce emissions across sectors.  The Bank’s first Climate Change Action Plan in 2016 laid out actions to expand climate investments in developing countries, but did not commit the Bank to eliminate fossil fuels from its portfolio. The World Bank Group is the largest source of climate finance to developing countries. It also provides more support to fossil fuels than any other multilateral development bank, most of it to gas. Fossil gas, the fastest growing source of fossil fuels emissions globally, made up more than 75 percent of known fossil fuel support from multilateral development banks in 2020.

The World Bank’s press release notes the Bank, “will regularly update its Board on the implementation of the Action Plan,” without providing further details of what aspects of the plan it will report on.
