Breaking - research from @MMMoneyMatter shows that every university with a divestment commitment still banks with a leading fossil fuel financier such as @Barclays or @HSBC.
If you’ve ever been a student, contact your uni & tell them this is unacceptable

We know the degradation of nature is an existential crisis for people. But it's also a profound threat to the financial system. Great to see the world's central banks releasing a conceptual framework for nature-related risks. Now to move to action: bit.ly/3P9NSep

'While progress is encouraging, important work remains to be done for #climate-related matters to be systematically embedded in decision-making across all #banking activities.'
Fabulously insightful report with clear next steps banks could use to get from target to action.

How are banks doing on #netzero? This new assessment from the @tp_initiative shows progress, but none of the 26 banks disclose the share finance for climate solutions & only 6 disclose a commitment to end all types of finance for new coal. Read it here: bit.ly/3sDr52Z

Los Angeles voted 12-0 to ban new drilling and to close all 5,000 existing oil and gas wells in the city. This is a historic victory by @STAND_LA and all citizens over the oil industry and environmental racism.
IT CAN BE DONE! Who's next?

“By continuing to pour money into fossil fuels, these banks are telling us that they aren’t serious about meeting their climate commitments," Adele Shraiman, senior campaign strategist for the Sierra Club's Fossil-Free Finance campaign, told Sierra.

Rather than cut fossil fuel clients adrift to be eaten alive by a new generation of clean tech companies, it’s far less awkward for banks to keep the money flowing under the banner of “transition finance”.

NEW REPORT: Big banks including @Barclays, @Chase, @BankofAmerica & @Citi are propping up deadly coal plants across the US. 🏦🏭⚠️
These banks won’t directly fund coal projects, but giant loopholes allow them to keep funding the companies operating them.

To the Conservative politicians who are angry at me for calling out their climate denial. Let me be 💯 clear: When I was in politics I did pinky promises with kids across 🇨🇦 promising that we would do our part to tackle climate change. I'm never going to break that promise. 🤜

The great editor @arusbridger on the insanity of British politics: amid record heat, the government is opening up vast new oil leases.
(American politics much too similar)

Big Tobacco knew the dangers of its product. They spread misinformation. The Department of Justice held them accountable.
Big Oil knew the dangers of its product. They spread misinformation. It’s time to hold them accountable, too.

Central banks and financial supervisors are essential to securing finance for a low-emissions, resilient world (a key part of the #ParisAgreement).
In this commentary @joefeyertag and @NVJRobins1 outline how they can make progress on this goal 👇🏾

Research @ucl shows the UK could get off oil and gas by 2045
We know our shit - according to @JustStop_Oil
But takes the right policies and politicians who are not lining their own pocket with oil blood money 💰 🩸
