This weekend, the world's top central banks will meet in Switzerland to
discuss their common rulebook, the The Basel Framework. Central banks
still inject billions into fossil fuels -- but the rulebook can be changed
to stop bankers funding climate chaos.

Help get to 100,000 signatures, and we'll deliver them this urgent
petition:

John,

From deadly floods in Libya, Hong Kong, Greece and Brazil to record
temperatures in Antarctica, we are facing the direct consequences of
reckless fossil fuel extraction.

But we have a key opportunity to help stop runaway climate change and
protect our precious planet.

Central banks and financial regulators have the power to change the rules
right at the top and cut off funding to fossil fuel projects.

Let's come together to demand that they adopt new fair financial rules and
stop banks from funding these dirty projects -- add your name now:

[ [link removed] ]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. They provide
the money to build and maintain projects like coal mines. But if there is
no money for this, there would be no coal mines in Europe, no crude oil
pipelines in Africa and no mega-gas projects in the Arctic.

Entire livelihoods and ecosystems are being devastated 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 may 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.

[ [link removed] ]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 ALL OF US 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 demand central banks adopt new financial rules that put
people and planet over fossil profits. But we can’t do it alone:

Today, we can change the top rules guiding their investments. But we can’t
do it alone:

[ [link removed] ]Will you call on central bankers to stop bankrolling our destruction
and adopt new financial rules that put people and planet over fossil
profits?
