John,
From devastating wildfires in North America to tropical temperatures in Siberia, we are facing the direct consequences of the reckless exploitation of fossil fuels.
But right now we have a key opportunity to help stop runaway climate change and protect our precious planet.
In two weeks, 63 central banks from across the world will meet to vote on new rules for ALL the banks of the world -- including their funding of fossil fuel projects. This is our chance to change the rules of the game, right at the top.
Let's pile on now to demand banks stop funding these dirty projects. The Ekō team and several frontline communities and activists from all over the world will be there to deliver our call -- let's make this huge:
John, call on the central banks governors now to stop funding fossil fuels and save our future.
Banks are one of the key enablers for fossil fuels projects. No money = no coal mines in Europe, no crude oil pipeline in Africa, no mega-gas projects in the Arctic.
Entire livelihoods and ecosystems are being ripped out in the name of immediate profit -- violating frontline communities’ most basic human rights and threatening our chance of a liveable future on our shared home, Earth.
Banks seem like untouchable giants, but they abide by rules too and by changing the rules at the top, we can cut off the roots of the problem.
We can’t afford to keep extracting and burning fossil fuels, banks need to invest in sustainable energies and renewable energy projects. This meeting is a unique chance to get all regulators’ attention and influence the decisions. Let’s show them that thousands of people from across the globe are paying close attention to their votes and calling for a fair and just financial system.
Call on central bankers to stop bankrolling our destruction and adopt new financial rules that put people and planet over fossil profits.
The mobilisation against financial actors is growing -- from Uganda, Argentina, Australia, Korea, the USA, Switzerland, the Arctic, France, the UK… Frontlines communities, Indigenous groups, activists, NGOs, experts and YOU John are facing insurers and banks to hold them accountable for their destruction.
We’re making them back off from entire fossil projects and adopt new fossil fuel exclusion policies. People power works!
Today, we can change the top rules guiding their investments. But we can’t do it alone:
Are you with us John?
