Think Global January 2010

By Katharine Talbot, 18 December 2009

Welcome to the January 2010 issue of Think Global and take our urgent action on climate finance in Bangladesh.

We are campaigning in solidarity with the Equity and Justice Working group in Bangladesh and are calling on the UK government to rethink money for climate change adaptation going through the World Bank. In addition we are demanding that this money is disbursed as grants, rather than as loans which will further add to Bangladesh's debt burden.
