How did the World Bank “misplace” $41 BILLION in “climate change” (our) funds?

A recent Oxfam investigation disclosed that the World Bank has lost track of up to $41 billion in climate finance funds between 2017 and 2023. This amount constitutes nearly 40% of the climate funds disbursed by the Bank over this period.

The Bank’s accounting method records funds at project approval, not completion, leading to a lack of transparency regarding actual expenditure.

Oxfam criticized the Bank for poor record-keeping, suggesting that the absence of clear records makes assessing the impact of these funds nearly impossible. This financial mismanagement has sparked concerns about the effectiveness and oversight of climate finance initiatives.
