What are they suggesting? That the WB provide better borrowing terms to create incentives for countries to take action on climate issues. Germany also wants the bank to de-risk clean energy investments in developing countries. This comes after US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called on the World Bank to establish an \u201cevolution road map\u201d for green finance by December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The calls come after a series of anti-climate allegations against the World Bank in recent weeks: <\/strong>An Oxfam report last week <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/7112d738-2d21-4db7-ab78-98f96d67fb75\">claimed<\/a> that the World Bank had \u2018misplaced\u2019 up to USD 7 bn in climate funding in 2020 and an influential US activist group accused WB chief David Malpass of being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrdc.org\/experts\/joe-thwaites\/david-malpass-climate-and-development-failure\">\u201cclimate and development failure\u201d<\/a> in a release out ahead of the fall meetings.
