PRESS RELEASE: Two thirds of climate finance is loans, as rich countries profiteer from climate crisis💰

New research finds poor & climate vulnerable countries are paying back 7 USD for every 5 they receive.

Report by @oxfaminternational.bsky.social @careglobal.bsky.social 👉 oxf.am/climate-fina...

Rich countries are treating the climate crisis as a business opportunity, not a moral obligation. They are lending money to the very people they have historically harmed, trapping vulnerable nations in a cycle of debt. This is a form of crisis profiteering. Quote by Nafkote Dabi, Oxfam International Climate Policy Lead.
