On November 1, climate activists and policy makers from all over the world will be convening at the 26th annual Conference of the Parties (COP) in Glasgow, Scotland to address the climate crisis. Many of our Indigenous partners in the Amazon consider it crucial to attend as well, as they resist the continued financing of oil and gas activities in the rainforest.
Along with the campaign to protect 80% of Amazonia by 2025, campaigners at Amazon Watch and Stand.earth have teamed up with Indigenous organizations to pressure banks to immediately adopt an exclusion policy to exit Amazon oil and gas.
We are in talks with several of the banks listed in our reports to solidify an exclusion for all types of financing for any oil and gas activities in the entire Amazon biome. The COP presents a major opportunity to put an international spotlight on our demands and to hold key decision makers accountable.
Banks need to hear that instead of making empty "net zero" promises to lower emissions by far-too-late deadlines, they need to take urgent and drastic action to cut fossil fuel activity now, starting in the world’s most ecologically and culturally significant places. Together, we can End Amazon Crude!
