ADB Energy Policy Review Scorecard

Why This Matters

This year marks a decade since the Paris Agreement — yet the Asian Development Bank (ADB) still falls short of the 1.5°C goal.
ADB’s Energy Policy Review proposes dangerous rollbacks, including:

• Reviving extractive industries

• Lifting the ban on nuclear energy investments

• Promoting co-firing and other false “transition” technologies

• Keeping loopholes for coal and gas

 

As the world nears a climate tipping point, ADB continues to lag behind its own claims as a “climate bank.”

What’s ADB’s Score?

 

That’s for you to decide.

Each Forum network member and ally can grade ADB’s Energy Policy Review process and proposed revisions based on their alignment with real climate action — or lack thereof.
