It is unacceptable that the @ADB_HQ lacks a policy/plan to ensure responsible exit from projects that cause demonstrable harm. The bank cannot simply walk away without guardrails, leaving behind a trail of unresolved risks
& vulnerabilities: We shall hold them accountable!
Indigenous communities get a long deserved victory for their grassroots campaign as @ADB_HQ cancels $434 million loan & assistance for a environmentally disastrous 500 MW large solar PV facility, Assam Solar Park, in Karbi Anglong District, on 23rd May 2025. Press release:

On Day 3 of @ACEF_Forum, @350Pilipinas, 350 Asia, @AsianPeoplesMvt, and Forum network staged a creative protest at @ADB_HQ on #WorldEnvironmentDay.
#ADB: You can’t clean up the climate with dirty finance.

People are emotional. A crowd is mostly foolish. Fans are mad crazy. All of that is true.
That's exactly why governments have to be better, plan better, execute better.
A government or people in government cannot let emotion get the better of logic or logistics. Stampede at RCB's victory celebration is a monumental failure of preparedness. Those responsible must be held accountable.

This win is a testament to people's power, and the dedication of the communities and our partners. Development cannot come at the expense of people, land, culture, and rights!

The mother of two hearing-impaired sons, who were directly affected by the AIIB-funded projects, asked President Liqun, "Did development entail demolishing a school for hearing-impaired kids?"

How Modi Govt has subtly deployed the RSS in G20 Summit:
India hosts the G20 Summit next week.
A part of the G20 Summit are "engagement groups" which are formed around a variety of topics
One of them is called C20 - an engagement group for civil society
Who is leading it? 👇

The @ADB_HQ will be shortly revising its safeguards. It's the perfect occasion to strenghten its policies and commit to #zerotolerance against reprisals + have protocols to *actually* comply with the updated safeguards.
