The fund would mainly give out money at commercial lending rates with only a fifth of its revenues providing “highly concessional and grant-based support” to vulnerable countries."
The launch of this fund has been scrapped.

Thank god! I was really worried about dropping uncontrollably AND running out of air at the same time. I shouldn't have been. More likely the elevator will be vaporized by the #Climate#Emergency. Good to know someone is on call.
