❗The US has proposed that the #LossAndDamageFund be under the @WorldBank . But in 2022, WB put $3.7 BILLION into oil & gas trade finance alone. Since 2015, it has given $15 BILLION to fossil fuels. A WB-led LDF will mean more money for polluters, not people. #WBOutOfLDF !

Plastics treaty draft underway, but will the most impacted countries be included?

After powerful countries delayed negotiations, some question fair inclusion of low- and middle-income countries.
