Advancing and Protecting Sustainability Standards in Development Finance

About this grant

Friends of the Earth US promotes a healthier and more just world. The grantee is part of a federation of 73 organizations that campaign internationally, nationally and locally to protect the environment and people’s rights. With prior Mott Foundation funding, the grantee improved the implementation of climate, social and environmental protections at Chinese development finance institutions and strengthened the capacity of affected communities to oppose projects that would harm the climate, biodiversity or community wellbeing. With renewed support, Friends of the Earth will seek to ensure that Chinese and international financial institutions support an energy transition that does not harm biodiversity and advances sustainable development objectives.
