*[Enwl-eng] Just look what the climate movement has done
ENWLine
Wow,
I almost can’t believe it. Yesterday, at the UN climate talks in Scotland, 20 countries and institutions finally promised to stop funding coal, oil and gas projects with our money. This is the first international commitment of its kind, and could shift $15 billion away from fossil fuels. [1]
Around the world, we have organised, campaigned, and stood up for climate justice. We let our governments know: we won’t stand by while they keep funding destructive fossil fuels with public money.
But while every penny taken from fossil fuels is a victory, this news won’t stop big polluters from destroying our homes with their dirty business.
The pledges don’t stop private banks from funding fossil fuels. They don't stop our governments from funding coal, oil and gas projects at home.
The fossil fuel industry’s ties to governments and banks run deep. The only way we’re going to make sure these institutions keep their promises and move to a clean, sustainable future is by keeping up the pressure, together.
We need our movement to grow and be inclusive of as many people as possible. Will you share this news with your friends and family and invite them to be part of the climate movement?
To ensure a safe, secure and healthy future for us all, across the world, we need to make sure not a single penny more goes into dirty energy.
This news shows what our movement can do. Together, we can do even more.
We need you to help grow our movement and let governments and banks know we’re watching them.
Share the good news with a friend:
Our movement won’t stop until we end all funding for fossil fuels and we create a clean, green, and fair future for everybody.
With hope, determination and solidarity,
Ellie, for the 350.org team
P.S. This was only possible because people like you didn’t give up, Vladimir. What has happened, I thought was almost impossible just a week ago. But we did it! Make sure you’re the first to hear about news by following us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
