"Since almost 90% of the increased emissions going forward are coming from developing countries, we have to take the top layers of risk off the access to capital in these developing countries," Gore said at a climate policy summit hosted by the New York Times.

"That's the job of the World Bank—to coordinate the other multilateral development banks—and they're simply not doing it," said Gore.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has repeatedly implored the World Bank and its regional counterparts to increase and improve access to financing to help impoverished and vulnerable countries meet the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals and adapt to climate shocks, including during his opening remarks at the General Assembly on Tuesday.

"When every night on the TV news is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelation, that builds demands for meaningful action," Gore said in a recent interview. "And these events aren't representative of a so-called random walk, they're getting worse every single year in the last decade."

2. World Bank is another vestige of World Colonialism.

Enslave developing nations in debt, then drown them in “economic restructuring” favourable to western corporations.

I like the non-colonial China massive infrastructure investment, World wide model… and so do the former colonies.

The West gives money for purely selfish reasons, in lieu of colonization no longer in vogue, maybe the Chinese not so much?
