“The World Bank and International Monetary Fund’s silence on climate issues was deafening. It’s another example of institutions caving to the outsized power of richer countries, in this case the US.” — Niranjali Amerasinghe, Executive Director, ActionAid USA

Private finance is not a silver bullet - on the contrary, it is one of the key drivers of the crisis we are in.
