European youth group ASEED organised a four day meeting in March to discuss the European development of the World Bank Bond Boycott campaign. This aims to use “grassroots financial and political power” to defund the World Bank and reduce its power. Participants explored the future of financial activism, ethical investment and other tactics.
ASEED is currently recruiting a young person to serve as a European coordinator for the campaign.
New BWP research finds the Word Bank's approach to Paris alignment is being used to a significant extent to impose ‘green conditionalities' on borrowing countries, especially in the Global South.
Understanding the Bank’s chequered history with public, community and civil society participation is key for understanding what is at stake and what to do next.
