Combating Global Poverty Through Energy Development Act

This bill directs the U.S. Treasury Secretary to instruct U.S. representatives at major international financial institutions (like the World Bank and IMF) to oppose and reverse policies restricting financing for coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy projects. It requires these institutions to eliminate such restrictions or face limits on U.S. funding (capping obligations at 50% until compliance). The bill also mandates annual reports detailing efforts to remove financing barriers for these energy sources and steps to promote international energy project financing. It directly affects how global development banks allocate capital for energy infrastructure in developing nations.
