In October we took to the streets of Brighton armed with a World Bank ‘loan’ shark to illustrate the issue of climate debt being forced on developing countries.
The campaign highlights how the UK government has refused to grant any money to the United Nations Climate Adaptation Fund, and is instead insisting that all money to developing countries be dispersed through the World Bank, which has a history of dishing out money as loans with strings attached.
We asked passers-by to donate a pound to the Fund, which would be passed onto the Department for International Development as an indicator of how the British public feel on the issue of new debt for developing countries.
