Groups Protest World Bank Support for Dams, Fossil Fuel Projects 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Christine Lagarde joined corporate leaders and finance chiefs at the
annual IMF/World Bank meeting in Washington, D.C., which was dominated
by concerns over the U.S. fiscal standoff. Outside the meeting Saturday,
a coalition of civil society groups condemned the World Bank's
investment in fossil fuel projects and mega-dams which they say harm the
environment and destroy the livelihoods of people around the world.
