While the World Bank says it is committed to addressing the climate crisis, the lender still invests billions of dollars in fossil fuels. Join Climate First! and others in telling the World Bank to take the climate crisis seriously by ending its funding of fossil fuels, and instead, invest in clean energy while respecting Indigenous peoples' rights.
