Una Respuesta de la Sociedad Civil al Marco de Inversión del Banco Mundial para Energía Limpia y Desarrollo
Summary
A 2006 report by a coalition of NGOs critiquing the World Bank's energy investment framework, arguing that it continues to fund fossil fuels and large-scale projects while neglecting renewable energy and the energy needs of the poor.
Key insights
- The World Bank's energy investment portfolio is heavily skewed toward fossil fuels and large-scale projects, with renewable energy funding remaining minimal. In fiscal year 2005, financing for renewable energy accounted for less than 5 percent of the Bank's total energy financing. The Bank continues to invest between US $2 billion and US $3 billion annually in energy projects that produce greenhouse gases.
- The World Bank's 'Investment Framework for Clean Energy and Development' is criticized for promoting technologies that are not truly clean and for basing its scenarios on greenhouse gas emission levels that could lead to dangerous climate changes. The framework includes controversial large-scale centralized technologies such as 'clean coal', carbon capture and storage, nuclear energy, and large dams.
