On Saturday we took to the streets armed with a human-eating “climate loan” shark, in solidarity with international protests during the run-up to the U.N. climate talks in Durban beginning on Monday, and to illustrate how our government is lending climate adaptation money to poor countries through the World Bank, effectively behaving like a loan shark.

Alongside activists worldwide, we’re calling for the money to be donated through the United Nations Climate Adaptation Fund – so far our government has refused.
