The World Bank will decide this month whether to adopt a number of sweeping recommendations that could significantly change future World Bank lending in the oil, gas and mining industries.

The groundbreaking "Extractive Industries Review"(EIR) recommends a number of major reforms to World Bank operations to better protect human rights, indigenous peoples and the environment. The report also recommends that the Bank greatly increase funding for clean, renewable energy.

The World Bank will soon decide just how far they are willing to go to adopt these recommendations. In the past, without grassroots pressure, the Bank often opts for the lowest common denominator when it comes to reforming.

Help us urge the World Bank to adopt the EIR's recommendations by sending a letter to President James Wolfensohn today!
