The Big Shift Global
@bigshiftglobal
Calling on the world's biggest public development banks to shift their finance out of fossil fuels & into sustainable, renewable energy. #StopFundingFossils
Mission 300 is a HUGE opportunity - if done right. @WorldBank it’s time to put your money where your mouth is -@patienceNabz 300 million people across Africa still live without reliable electricity. To be truly inclusive, #Mission300 must put communities & climate justice first.
New from @brettonwoodspr: Will the World Bank be a partner for a just energy transition in developing countries? Could depend on 3 major policy areas: 🦾 strengthening of ESF, 🪨 role in advising mining countries, ⚖️ participation in debt relief brettonwoodsproject.org/wp-content/upl…
We need system change to create a fair, green future for the Global South 🌍✊️ The same systems that caused the climate crisis can’t be trusted to solve it. We need structural change that puts people & the planet before profit. Join the movement: bigshiftglobal.org
They call fossil gas a “clean” transition fuel. But it’s methane-heavy, 80x worse than CO₂, and still drives the climate crisis. 💸 It locks countries into debt 🌍 Delays real solutions It’s not a bridge - it’s a trap. It's time for real solutions. #StopFundingFossils

Africa holds 60% of the world’s top solar potential but gets just 3.3% of clean energy investment. This isn’t just a gap. It’s injustice. MDBs must shift funding from fossil chaos to community-led, grant-based renewables. #BigShiftNow #SolarForAfrica

Africa gets just 2% of global clean energy investment-yet 570M+ lack electricity, 900M rely on polluting fuels. This is a justice issue. We need more funding for locally led energy solutions now. #JustTransition #EnergyJustice
What Happens If Africa Goes 100% Renewable? ✅ 5.4M energy jobs ✅ $150B saved annually ✅ Universal energy access Fossil fuels can’t match this. Our new publication, African Energy Leadership Report: The Case for 100% Renewable Energy calls for us to invest where the future…
While communities face climate chaos, we know who reaps the benefits - and who pays the price. It’s time to end public financing for fossil fuels and demand a just transition led by frontline communities. 📢Join the movement: bigshiftglobal.org #StopFundingFossils

The Global South needs renewable energy☀️ Africa has 60% of the world's best solar resources yet it receives a fraction of global investment & millions still don't access to reliable electricity. This needs to change 👉 bigshiftglobal.org #RenewablesNow @PowerShftAfrica
What does gas bring to Africa? Chaos. From land grabs and violent insurgencies to political conflict, the destruction caused by extractive industries knows no bounds! Enough is enough! #DontGasAfrica #stopEACOP
The World Bank still pours > $1 billion a year into fossils. Institutions fueling the crisis can’t lead the fix. End fossil lending and deliver grants, not loans. #MakePollutersPay #FfD4People

A just transition can’t run on colonial economics. Pay Up • Cancel the Debt • Change the System. Seville’s #FfD4 must go big or go home. #JustTransition #SystemChange
World Bank Group guarantees — not as aligned with the #ParisAgreement as it claims? On the anniversary of @MIGA's claim to have aligned all of its operations with global climate action, NEW RESEARCH links the guarantee agency with new fossil fuels bit.ly/MIGA25 #FfD4

Two years ago, the The World Bank said it would align with the Paris Agreement. Today: still funding climate chaos. 🚫 End fossil fuel finance 🌱 Back a just energy transition 💸 Deliver climate finance without debt #FFD4 is time to shift the power and fund climate justice.

MDBs are bankrolling fossil fuel debt and choking Africa’s future. 🌍❌ #FFD4 is time to shift to clean, community-led energy that powers growth and fairness for all. This is why bold reform at FFD4 means everything 👇bigshiftglobal.org #SystemChangeNow #FFD4People




🚨 New report 🚨 An over-reliance on private finance to fund a just energy transition is prolonging the fossil fuel era. Only 38% of the $5.7 trillion in global annual funding needed is flowing. ➡️Read more oilchange.org/publications/l…
🚨 New data 🚨 ⚠️”Blended finance” plans by rich gov’ts & international institutions that rely heavily on private finance for #JustTransition are attracting 4-7 times LESS investment than promised. More in report: oilchange.org/publications/l…
