World Bank board to end longstanding ban on funding nuclear energy projects

Date: Jun 17, 2025

The World Bank board has agreed to end a longstanding ban on funding nuclear energy projects in developing countries as part of a broader push to meet rising electricity needs.

The board decided in 2013 to stop funding nuclear power projects.

Meanwhile, 12 civil society organisations from across the African continent as well as Europe and Russia have released a report calling for a nuclear free Africa.

The orgnaisation say the nuclear energy lobby undermines and obstructs the need for net zero to be achieved by 100% clean sustainable renewable energy.
