Rihanna calls on global financial leaders to commit to climate finance

Tweeting the US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and World Bank chief Ajay Banga, the Bajan superstar has requested the world’s financial leaders to ‘make bold commitments to finance and debt reforms.’

Rihanna has never been one to hold back.

This time, she’s publicly calling out the world’s biggest leaders in finance and asking them to join her in making bold commitments to finance and debt reforms.

On Monday, Rihanna direct mentioned both the US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and the World Bank Chief Ajay Banga on Twitter, requesting they step up to the plate by pledging funds for communities on the frontlines of climate change.

She tweeted a link to an action platform run by the social change organisation Global Citizen, with information on a campaign aimed at addressing the interlocking crises of the climate crisis, hunger, and inequality through global finance reform.

No stranger to helping her community, Rihanna has regularly funded climate resilience and climate justice organisations through her charity, the Clara Lionel Foundation.
