                                Dear friends,  
                                This is unreal. Yesterday, the president of the World Bank, David Malpass, said he couldn't say whether climate change was real.

                                Since the Paris Agreement, the Bank has fueled over $12 BILLION into dirty energy while pushing for oil and gas-friendly laws.

                                A climate denier can’t be leading the world's top bank! And the pressure to replace him is ramping up – key countries are already raising concerns. But it’s the US government and President Biden who have the final say.  

                                If enough of us urge President Biden to intervene, we can help change the Bank’s course and ensure people everywhere have access to safe, clean and sustainable energy.

                                Tell Biden: clean up the World Bank  
                                David Malpass was appointed by Donald Trump as part of his efforts to sabotage international collaboration for the climate.

                                Sadly, it’s working. Rather than using the Bank to truly fight catastrophic climate change and support most affected countries, the Bank is being used to fund even more pipelines and coal plants.

                                But following the media pressure, there’s growing concern from deep within Biden’s administration and from top officials from Germany, who is also a major shareholder.

                                Insiders are telling us that massive public support would help them push internally – let’s pile on the pressure and urge President Biden to clean up the World Bank and signal the days of Trump are gone.  
                                Tell Biden: clean up the World Bank  
                                Our movement was instrumental in landing the historic Paris Agreement. Now we have to make sure the institutions belonging to the world are up to delivering the promises and goals of the Paris Agreement.

                                With hope and determination,
