John -

We'd like to take a moment to step back and take stock of what we
accomplished this year.

2021 was a turning point for the climate movement. The pillars of the
fossil fuel industry are weakening — and that’s because of all of our
work.

This was such a busy year in every corner of the globe that we had a hard
time narrowing down a list of accomplishments. But because everyone loves
a good list, here are five amazing things we did together in 2021 (in no
particular order).

[ [link removed] ]After you finish reading, will you share your climate priorities with
us for the year ahead? We're sharing all of the responses directly with
our Executive Director, May Boeve.

After 18 months of protests, Europe’s central bank announced that it would
incorporate climate as it assesses risk and formulates monetary policy.^1
This was a tremendous victory that will help cut off the flow of funds to
fossil fuels. With this momentum, we are continuing to push the Bank of
England to follow suit.

National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) – announced that
it would no longer provide credit for coal-fired power plants, following
pressure from our movement.^2

China announced at the United Nations that it would end all involvement in
coal projects abroad. We worked with a global network of organizations to
pressure the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) – the largest
bank in the world – to stop all funding for new coal projects.^3

We launched a historic Global Just Recovery Gathering

7,000 people from 151 countries gathered to envision a Just Recovery.

We hosted a 62-hour event called the Global Just Recovery Gathering. The
event had 196 sessions, 30 panelist speakers, live interpretation and
captioning in nine languages.

We used cutting edge, digital technology to support authentic connection
for our movement. The event inspired individuals to take action, grow
their leadership, and provided a space to envision the future we want.

We stopped Keystone XL (again)

President Biden revoked the permits for the Keystone XL pipeline, putting
the final nail in the coffin of a decade-long fight. Following the
announcement, the 350 team in the U.S. launched the Fossil Free Federal
Reserve campaign to cut off the financing from Big Banks to projects like
Keystone XL.

pulling all of the responses together shortly so we want to be sure yours
gets added to the list.

We’ll bring your questions to our end-of-year conversation with our
Executive Director, May Boeve, as we discuss the state of the climate and
what’s ahead for our movement in 2022.

None of this would be possible without all of you and we’re truly grateful
to make all this happen with you.

Thank you for everything,
