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.

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

The richest countries and super-rich individuals are driving the climate crisis to its current tipping point, over-consuming the carbon budget through deeply unequal and extractive systems. Now they are trying to capture and control the energy transition at the expense of the poorest and most climate-vulnerable countries," said Amitabh Behar, Oxfam INternational Executive Director

PRESS RELEASE: Colonialism hijacks energy transition: 70% of minerals for renewables lies in Global South but the majority of profits are captured by the world's richest.
