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.

The #AfricaClimateSummit is our moment to demand the future we deserve 🌍✊. #Mission300 can power 300M lives- but only if it’s clean, fair & community-led. No more fossil fuels. It's time for energy justice in Africa. 👉

Africa can power the 🌍 with clean energy yet MDBs still bankroll fossil fuels ❌. This #AfricaClimateSummit we’re calling for #Mission300: electricity for 300M people by 2030 ⚡. Africa has 40% of solar potential, but gets just 2% of renewable investment. That must change.

We need a clean future - not one that bankrolls fossil fuels and dirty profits. Every $ poured into fossil fuels is a decision to delay justice, deepen debt & fuel climate chaos. It’s time that MDBs stop funding fossil fuels for good 🌍🙌 #StopFundingFossils

🚫 Gas expansion under the guise of “transition” is a lie. It locks nations into debt, danger, and dependence. ADB must stop pouring money into gas and shift financing toward just, community-led renewable energy. Join the movement at

⚡️ @ADB_HQ calls gas a “transition fuel,” but science says new gas = more emissions + more climate chaos. 📉 IPCC is clear: no room for new fossil fuels. We need a real transition that phases gas out completely.

The @adb_hq is risking our future by backsliding on its fossil fuel promise. Gas isn’t a solution - it’s a trap. Communities deserve clean energy, not climate-wrecking debt. 📢 We’re calling it out. RT this to add your voice.

Frontline communities don’t just need a seat at the table - they need power. MDBs are making billion-dollar decisions that shape futures in the Global South, too often without those most affected. Development without justice is just exploitation. #ClimateJustice 🌍✊

Communities need climate solutions without strings attached. 🌍. Institutions like the @WorldBank must pay their fair share by delivering public finance in the form of grants, not loans. This is the key to unlocking to a fair and liveable future. Join

From funding the “clean coal” lie in the 2000s, to a performative coal exit in 2021, and now fast-tracking gas, nuclear & extractivism in 2025 — @ADB_HQ’s Energy Policy Review is anything but just. 🌍 Communities face the cost. READ:

📢 When @ADB_HQ calls briefings “consultations” in its Energy Policy Review, it’s not just semantics — it’s a tactic to sideline civil society and dodge real scrutiny. ⚠️ This erodes trust, transparency, and accountability. 📄 READ:

⚠️ @ADB_HQ @ADBClimate Energy Policy Review is on overdrive — cutting a 1-year process into just 2 months. From restricted “consultations” to rushed deadlines, communities most impacted are being shut out!. 💥 No energy transition without justice. 🔗

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:

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

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 .
