Do you trust the World Bank to handle your money wisely? How about to help solve the climate crisis? NO?!! We don't either! Join us to expose the World Bank's Greenwashing!
WHAT: Street theater with bankers actively Greenwashing on site (painting coal and oil barrels green).
WHO: You and others willing to dress like bankers and wield a paintbrush (we can supply suits if needed). We need at least 20 committed bankers.
WHY: Surprise! The World Bank, the world's largest lender of money for fossil fuel projects, is trying to reinvent itself as a world leader on climate solutions! The Bank has proposed new "Climate Investment Funds" to help "developing countries to address urgent climate change challenges." But if you look behind the greenwash rhetoric of these funds, you'll find continued funding of coal and gas projects that fuel greenhouse gas emissions and further increase climate chaos!
