Matt Matern interviews Kyle Ash from the Bank Information Center (BIC). Ash discusses BIC’s efforts to promote transparency in development finance, particularly with the World Bank. They monitor around 30-40 projects globally, pushing for environmental and social protections. 



Despite some policy progress, Ash criticizes the World Bank’s slow move towards climate-friendly financing and ongoing indirect fossil fuel support. He advocates for direct air capture (DAC) and emphasizes sustainable, accountable development models.
