On the first day of COP17 in Durban, South Africa, we launched a report with a host of other organizations working on climate change to shame the World Bank for promoting climate finance while not agreeing to a truly clean, forward-thinking Energy Strategy in 2011.

Read the report below, and Take Action to send a message to the World Bank to leave large hydropower out of its Energy Strategy.
