The @ADB_HQ financed the #Jamshoro coal plant in Pakistan, despite its no coal policy. It’s time for the ADB to cancel project debt, retire the plant and repurpose it for renewables. More in our new briefing in collaboration with @ALCollective_ 🔖 bit.ly/Jamshoro #ADBNews

Despite @ADB_HQ's no-coal policy, it still supported the #Jamshoro coal plant, which is a huge burden for Pakistan’s economy, people & ecosystems. It’s time for the ADB to cancel the debt, retire the Jamshoro plant early, and repurpose it for renewables. Here's why 👇 🧵

🛑 Gas isn’t a bridge — it’s a trap. LNG terminals gas plants = decades of emissions. ⏳ No time left for false solutions. @ADB_HQ  must back real clean energy now.
31
🚫 Gas as a “transition fuel” = debt, danger, dependence. 💸 Renewables are cheaper every year. @ADB_HQ must end gas financing and fund just, people‑powered clean energy.

💸 Gas projects aren’t cheap. They saddle countries with long-term debt while renewable energy gets cheaper every year. @ADB_HQ must stop funding gas and back community‑led clean power.

❌ CCUS “green” hydrogen are @ADB_HQ’s false solutions to expand gas in Asia. 🚫 Distractions — not climate action. 🌏 The future is fossil‑free — or there’s no future at all.

⚡ @ADB_HQ calls gas a “transition fuel,” but science says new gas = more emissions more climate chaos. 📉 IPCC is clear: no room for new fossil fuels. We need a real transition that phases gas out completely.

The current system thrives on making us bleed. We call for a massive transformation of the international financial system. The injustices inherent in this process can no longer continue and the Global South deserves reparations for the harms done to it. #FfD4People #PayUp

One of the Paris Agreement’s highest objectives was to limit global temp rise to an avg of 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels Deemed essential to global survival, this goal fails to capture the intensity of existential challenges faced by climate vulnerable nations such as 🇵🇰 🧵

Emissions & vulnerability profiles of different federating units in 🇵🇰 are also not uniform or homogenous. Similarly, their socio-ecological dynamics & population density are also distinct, requiring a customised approach towards their role in the materialisation of NDC targets.

Principles of inter-provincial equity must ground consensus building when it comes to provincial actions and targets. The process must be historically informed and attentive to the inequities in climate impacts and resources between the provinces.
