In Kenya, reporting shows that abandoning an incomplete project w/o mitigation steps triggered the worst flood in a decade, destroying farmland, damaging homes, disrupting livelihoods and increasing waterborne disease.
When the Trump administration abruptly terminated most of USAID's water and sanitation portfolio, it left dozens of projects unfinished around the world.

⏰Using satellite imagery, internal records, engineering documents and on-the-ground reporting in Kenya, Bloomberg reconstructed how an unfinished USAID water project was followed by flooding, crop losses and a rise in waterborne disease. With @irencs

In some cases, #climate finance loans provide greater benefits to developed countries that the developing countries the system was designed to support, eroding trust and deepening a sense of injustice. @euanritchie in this piece from @irencs and @jackie_botts.

Wealthy countries have sent climate funding to the developing world in recent years with interest rates or strings attached that benefited the lending nations, a Reuters data analysis found. reuters.com/investigates/spe…
Together with @jackie_botts, we analyzed thousands of records related to climate finance. We found that billions of dollars meant to help developing countries cope with climate change are flowing back to wealthy nations through loans, interest and work contracts ➡️@specialreports

Use our migrant child labor data!
More children are crossing the border on their own than ever before, and thousands are ending up doing dangerous, illegal jobs.
We sued the government for a huge trove of data about these kids, and shared it all here: github.com/nytimes/hhs-child…
