John, the Prime Minister’s just announced a new plan to fix our economy and solve the climate crisis. But he won’t achieve much at all if British banks keep pumping billions towards fossil fuels.
Almost 10,000 supporters of Positive Money have already signed the petition demanding the Bank of England stop banks funding climate chaos. The pressure’s mounting. Please will you add your name in 20 seconds now, John? |

Mr Johnson says he wants to make London the "global centre for green finance". [1] But as long as The City of London keeps financing corporations’ drilling, fracking and mining around the world, London’s reputation for dirty finance isn’t going anywhere.
His plan isn’t good enough for several reasons. The funding is a drop in the ocean compared to what’s needed, and compared to the government bailouts that big polluters and banks have already received during the coronavirus pandemic. [2]
Two thirds of the public want the environment to be at the heart of our post-Covid economic recovery. [3] To make this a reality - we need the Bank of England to get on board, asap.
John, please will you help stop billion pound bailouts for big polluters and demand a fair, green recovery? |
