The World Bank Group is devoting 45 percent of its annual financing to climate-related projects for the fiscal year that runs from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. That’s putting to work more than $40 billion—around $9 billion more than previously programmed. In 2021, the Bank announced a goal to reach an average of 35 percent by 2025 and is currently running at an average of 36.3 percent since July 2021. In addition to boosting resilience and adaptation among those hardest hit by the effects of climate change, World Bank Group projects also will focus on safeguarding ecosystems and biodiversity to protect the health of people and the planet. #Sustainability #Sustainable #Sustainableliving #environment #reuse #gogreen #recycling #recycle #Renewableenergy #climateaction #circulareconomy #eco #plasticfree #zerowaste #earth #sustainablebusiness #sustainabledevelopment #sustainablefinance #eco #sustainable #sdg #sdgs #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #innovation #technology #ActonClimate #climateaction #climatecrisis #togetherforourclimate #theclimateconnection #Sustainability #cleanenergy #Renewableenergy #solarpower #windenergy #cleanenergy #Sustainable #innovations #recycling #upcycling #zerowaste #ecofriendly #reusability #repairability #ActionNow #globalwarming #savetheplanet #climateaction #climateemergency The World Bank The World Bank Group http://wrld.bg/Vns350Qrmli

The Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV) had the opportunity to join the #climatehub at the UN Bonn Climate Change Conference with We Don't Have Time, the world's largest media platform for #climateaction. Our Executive Director, Martin Rohner, shared how values-based banks have ambitious climate goals. Most GABV members exclude financing of any fossil fuel-related activities, and many have committed to ambitious net zero targets as early as 2035. 21 GABV members are the first banks worldwide to sign up to the call for an international Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative to stem the further expansion of fossil fuel exploration and production. Finance plays a pivotal role in achieving the climate goals agreed by the international community.
