The New York Post has reported that the World Bank has set its officials on fire as a carbon footprint equal to the annual emissions of 350 cars, while the New York Post has reported, while visiting the United Nations Climate Summit in Azerbaijan last November.
A leaked participating list shows that 254 World Bank officials took the jets to an oil rich nation for the 12-day summit. According to the Carbon Emission Calculator of the United Nations, his goal journey from Washington, DC produced at least 1,500 MT carbon emissions.
Citing data from the US Environmental Protection Agency, the report stated that this level of emissions is equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas output of 350 cars or the energy consumption of 200 American homes.
“This is a major performance of hypocrisy from the World Bank’s Guild Allites,” told NY Post, Director of Margaret Thecher Center for Freedom at Heritage Foundation. “They lect a lecture to the world on environmental policy, while literally live a higher life for whatever they preach.”
A World Bank spokesperson defended the exercise, saying that private jets were used only as a “rare exception” when safety, efficiency, or cost made commercial journey impractical.
The revelations follow the previous reports of the grand travel system within the World Bank. In November, NY Post revealed that senior officials had booked premium Q suites of Qatar Airways while traveling 18 months before the summit.
Social media posts were further investigated for World Bank President Ajay Banga after his assistant, Jessica Phan, a private gulfstream jet with him. Ms. Fan, a former Biden and Obama administration official, later removed the images from her Instagram. Mr. Banga also rented a Gulfstream Jet to attend the United Nations Climate Conference.
The World Bank is already setting fire as to how it handles climate funding. In October, British NGO Oxfam accused the $ 24 billion “lost track” organization for climate initiative.
Former Commerce Secretary Wilber Ross suggested that Dogi-Hed Elon Musk, who has promised to eliminate the government’s disabled, may target the World Bank expenses.
“Luxury Travel is a long -standing feature of the Finance,” former US Ambassador, who served under President Ronald Reagan, told the NY Post. “Obviously, this is the standard fare to discuss the poorest of the poor. It is absolutely frightening and a slap on the face of American taxpayers.”
