Hi John,
This week, 450 public financial institutions are meeting to discuss COVID recovery and the climate crisis. These institutions control trillions of euros in public money, and they continue pouring our money into dirty fossil fuel projects.
We have an opportunity to change that. The meeting, which is called “Finance in Common” is happening online. If hundreds of us take over the official summit hashtag with tweets asking for an end to fossil fuel finance, it will affect their public image, their media coverage, and could push them to start seriously acting on the climate crisis.
Make your voice heard: Pick a public finance institution to tweet at!

Last week, the strongest typhoon recorded this year hit the Philippines. As the climate crisis worsens, extreme weather events like this are getting increasingly common and increasingly devastating. The climate crisis is real, and finance institutions need to immediately stop funding our destruction.
We know from allies that financial institutions are drafting an official statement for the summit – however, the statement currently only states broad principles and no concrete plans.
Let's take over the summit hashtags with our demands to end fossil fuel financing by 2021 latest, we can push institutions to make serious commitments for our climate.
In solidarity,
Clémence and the 350 team
