John - Citibank is driving the escalating climate crisis through its outsized fossil fuel funding.
Since the Paris Climate Agreement was signed in 2016, Citibank has poured nearly $333 billion into the fossil fuel industry.1 They’re now the world’s second-largest funder of fossil fuels, the largest funder of coal in the US, and one of the largest funders of oil and gas in the Amazon rainforest.
Citi's support for new fossil fuel projects jeopardizes our communities’ health, human rights, and future generations. As we experience the very real effects of the climate crisis, the cost of inaction is too high.
That’s why our climate movement is teaming up with a global network of Indigenous and human rights groups to launch the Fossil Free Citi campaign — and we need your voice to resist Citi’s financing of climate destruction.
Unless Citi commits to stop financing fossil fuel expansion, the world will likely blow past global goals for limiting warming and securing a safe, livable planet. We are already at 1.25°C of warming, and communities are feeling the intense impact of warming as extreme weather and other climate disasters intensify.
Citi’s fossil fuel financing is worsening this crisis and any new fossil fuel projects that Citi finances will only make the situation worse.
We’re urging Citi to immediately stop financing fossil fuel expansion and projects that violate human rights, and rapidly phase out all fossil fuel financing — our health, lives, and the livability of the planet depend on it.
Join us to demand Citi stop fueling the climate crisis today.
Thank you for taking action.
