Data for AI – I believe countries are investing heavily in getting actual data infrastructures in place, but we need to do more to extend it from just paper to practice. @sikkut

" 🇸🇷 #Suriname case shows how public #DebtCrisis exacerbates climate and deepens the extraction of natural resources. Suriname is a high forest and low deforestation (HFLD) country that due to the default and later debt restructuring is being pushed into the circle of #extractivism to repay its #debt". @daniela_br_

At #WBGMeetings, we must question why African nations are routinely classified as high-risk, while developed nations, often with greater debt, are given a pass. #AfricaCreditRatings are tools of suppression, not support. @WorldBankAfrica @UNDPAfrica @BrookingsInst #Inequality
