With the World Bank Annual Meetings at Bangkok, join us to put people over profits at the People's Assembly
!
The World Bank today speaks of “inequality & shared prosperity”. This is after 80 years of masonry by the same institution that has created the wall that divides an affluent few and the rest of humanity.

This session challenges market fundamentalism and imagines redistributive, publicly funded alternatives that put people before profit.

2015 के पेरिस समझौते के बाद से देश की संसद में पूछे गए और उत्तर दिए गए सवालों और संसदीय बहसों पर आधारित सेंटर फॉर फाइनेंशियल अकाउंटेबिलिटी द्वारा जारी एक रिपोर्ट बताती है कि संसद में पर्यावरण और इससे जुड़े मसलों को लेकर बहुत कम चर्चा हुई है. रिपोर्ट में पाया गया है कि क्लाइमेट चेंज (जलवायु परिवर्तन) राष्ट्रीय एजेंडा का एक छोटा हिस्सा है, जो पिछले दशक में पूछे गए सभी संसदीय सवालों का सिर्फ़ 3.3% है.

A new report based on questions asked and answered in parliament as well as parliamentary debates spanning a decade since the Paris Agreement in December 2015 was released on Thursday (October 1). The report, “Climate on the Floor: India’s Parliamentary Discourse on Environment since the Paris Agreement”, finds that there has been little debate in parliament despite ten years since the landmark agreement.

“The concern around the environment and climate today is much greater than it was ten years ago. Yet there has not been much debate in Parliament despite ten years of the Paris Agreement,” said Jairam Ramesh, Member of Parliament and former Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India, while releasing the report.

We know there are competing tragedies today, each deserving of our attention.

Our appeal is a little different. We are not asking for charity. We are asking for your solidarity.

Holding the institutions and the rulers accountable for their financial policies comes with a price. Analysing the economic policies, their impact on people and ecology comes at a cost. We have paid that price willingly.

We have managed for two years since our 𝐅𝐂𝐑𝐀 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Bhumi Green Energy WTE plant in Sangli, Maharashtra, India temporarily shut down, residents demand permanent closure and nationwide incinerator ban!

Ahead of the upcoming Global Week of Action to Stop Incineration, let us celebrate this shut down!

A report by Paryavaran Rakshan Samiti Sangli, National Alliance for Climate and Ecological Justice (NACEJ) and Center for Financial Accountability details the list of the WTE plant’s violations, which include, but not limited to:

-Failure to submit environmental compliance and monitoring reports
-Dumping untreated wastewater into streams connected to Warana River
-Operating combustion chambers far below the mandated 950°C required for safe incineration
-Non-operational pollution-control systems
-Inadequate emissions and ash monitoring and management
-Failure to conduct dioxins and furans monitoring

Agricultural officials also documented ash on crops 1-1.5 km from the site, while farmers reported declining crop growth and agricultural yield, forcing some to leave their land fallow or switch crops. Residents also reported persistent suffering from foul odours, respiratory ailments, eye and skin irritations.

In light of these findings, the Sub-Divisional Officer of the Miraj Sub-Division, Sangli district has issued an official order to temporarily shut down the Bhumi Green Energy Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plant.

Residents demand for a permanent closure of the facility and for officials to consider this case a warning against the establishment of new WTE plants. They also call for environmental restoration, community compensation, and a shift toward zero-waste solutions such as reduction, reuse, recycling and composting.

🌍 Meet the people behind our Climate Finance course!

Climate finance is a complex world of institutions, negotiations, policies, money and competing interests. To help make sense of it, we’re bringing together a group of practitioners and researchers with years of experience working across climate justice, development finance, environmental governance, policy and data.

Together, we’ll unpack the systems behind climate finance, look at how they play out in practice, and explore the questions of who pays, who benefits, and who bears the cost.
