Kick World Bank out of climate finance, says agencyhttp://uk.oneworld.net/article/view/164230/1/246

The US has lobbied heavily in Copenhagen for a new facility at the World Bank, along the lines of pilot climate investment funds that were launched in 2008 with contributions from the UK, US, Japan and others.  World Bank climate funds have been hugely controversial with developing countries due to concerns that they could undermine structures under negotiation through the UNFCCC process, or result in unfair conditions being attached to funding. The bank’s Board is dominated by rich countries, with the 7 leading industrialised countries holding nearly 45% of the votes.

Earlier today President Lula of Brazil highlighted the deficiencies of the World Bank, noting that the IMF and the World Bank continue to promote failed policies in the 21st century.  "Handing the World Bank the reins of a climate change fund would be a disaster for the world’s poor”, said Ilana Solomon, ActionAid’s climate finance expert. "The World Bank is governed by rich countries and largely ignores the voices of those it is designed to help. And they continue to fund fossil-fuel development, further exacerbating the problem of climate change”, added Solomon.  The World Bank is currently negotiating a $3 billion deal with Eskom in South Africa to build a new coal plant. Analysis of 2007-2009 spending by the World Bank shows an annual average lending for fossil fuel projects of US$2.2 billion.

comment-we do not endorse the oneworld.uk site hosting story,nor do we endorse unfcc handling funds instead of world bank.we oppose both unfcc and world bank handling any funds from any commitments made at copenhagen.

World Bank FCPF: NGOs say it’s “failing forests and peoples”, indigenous leader calls for suspension of REDD activitieshttp://www.redd-monitor.org/2008/12/02/world-bank-fcpf-ngos-say-its-failing-forests-and-peoples-indigenous-leader-calls-for-suspension-of-redd-activities/

A new report from Belgium and UK-based NGOs FERN and the Forest Peoples Programme casts a heavy new shadow over the World Bank’s Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF). Based on a assessment of nine FCPF ‘Readiness Plan Idea Notes’, the groups conclude that the Bank has been cutting corners, failing to consult properly, and has ignored its own internal safeguard policies. In a joint press release, given in full below, Marcial Arias, from the International Indigenous Peoples’ Forum on Climate Change also called for the “suspension” of all REDD activities and carbon market initiatives in indigenous areas until such time as the inhabitants’ rights were recognised.

Big Dams are to a nations development what nuclear bombs are to its military arsenal. Theyre both weapons of mass destruction. - Arundhati Royhttp://www.umich.edu/~snre492/Jones/narmada.html

Before the Ministry of the Environment even cleared the Narmada Valley Development Projects in 1987, the World Bank sanctioned a loan for $450 million for the largest dam, the Sardar Sarovar, in 1985.

 Questions arose concerning the promises about resettlement and rehabilitation programs set up by the government, so by 1986 each state had a peoples organization that addressed these concerns. Soon, these groups came together to form the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA), or, the Save the Narmada Movement.

In 1988, the NBA formally called for all work on the Narmada Valley Development Projects to be stopped. In September 1989, more than 50,000 people gathered in the valley from all over India to pledge to fight destructive development.

A year later thousands of villagers walked and boated to a small town in Madhya Pradesh to reiterate their pledge to drown rather than agree to move from their homes. Under intense pressure, the World Bank was forced to create an independent review committee, the Morse Commission, which published the Morse Report (a.k.a. Independent Review) in 1992.

In author Arundhati Roys opinion It is the most balanced, unbiased, yet damning indictment of the relationship between the Indian State and the World Bank. Two months later, the Bank sent out the Pamela Cox Committee.It suggested exactly what the Morse Report advised against:a sort of patchwork remedy to try and salvage the operation(Roy 45-46). Eventually, due to the international uproar created by the Report, the Bank withdrew from the Sardar Sarovar Project

comment-world bank is involved in all sorts of scandals, from corruption to development projects wich displace indigenous communities and harm the enviroment.
