Civil society organisations from around the world reject the nomination of Mr. Banga for World Bank president and call for an end of the gentlemen's agreement. 

Eurodad's questions ex-MasterCard chief Ajay Banga's nomination by the USA as their candidate for president of the World Bank Group. It is crucial that the next World Bank leader breaks with the past and has a vision for the future, but a Banga presidency will bring only more of the same. 

In her response to Malpass' resignation, Eurodad director Jean Saldanha urges the World Bank Group to see this as an opportunity to rethink the role of the institution.

Eurodad Director Jean Saldanha looks forward to the challenges and solutions in 2023.

The UN Climate Conference (COP27) is currently taking place in Egypt. Tackling climate change requires a global effort; so it is crucial that the quality and quantity of international climate finance for countries in the global south is strengthened. Two key markers of success at COP27 are whether countries agree to a Loss and Damage Finance Facility, and whether the post-2025 climate finance goal will cover loss and damage.

This report looks at how debt and climate change are threatening the future of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), and suggests calls to action to help tackle these challenges
