John - this is an opportunity we cannot miss.

The World Bank is one of the most powerful financial institutions in the
world. And in just a few days, it will hold its most important meeting of
the year: its Annual Meeting.

Historically, the Bank has poured billions into giant fossil fuel projects
that have destroyed nature and people’s homes, destroyed our environment,
and contributed to the climate crisis.

Now the new president, Anjay Banga, has the opportunity to choose to let
the Bank continue the status quo. Or he could reform the World Bank, live
up to climate agreements, and invest in just climate solutions.

This meeting will be Banga’s first serving as the new president. All eyes
will be on him, and we know he’ll want to generate a lot of good press.

This is the perfect time to put climate front and center on the agenda.
That’s why 350.org will have people on the ground who plan to deliver our
petition calling on the World Bank President to meet our demands in
person.

the World Bank from funding fossil fuels?

2023 is becoming known as a record-breaking year. Wildfires caused
thousands of people to flee their homes in Maui, California, and across
the globe. Torrential rains and flooding across Asia and Europe have
killed dozens of people.^1

These are the impacts of man-made global heating caused by burning fossil
fuels — and the World Bank is directly responsible.

But all that could change,
John.

President Banga believes in climate science and said his vision is ‘to
create a world free from poverty on a livable plant.’ If that’s true, he
must prioritize funding renewable energy and stop the funding of coal,
oil, and gas.

Anjay Banga to reform the World Bank and fund the just transition to
renewables — but we noticed your name is missing. Will you add your name
before we deliver our petition?

Thank you!
