Adani's risky coal project that could help hasten the
destruction of Australia's Great Barrier Reef might be about to
receive a huge lifeline from the Bank of New York Mellon --
but Vladimir, you can stop it.
You have already helped force over 100 companies to say they
won’t work on Adani's Carmichael mining project. So in desperation,
Adani knocked on the door of the Bank of New York Mellon, the bank
founded by Alexander Hamilton (yes, that Hamilton from the
global hit musical).
If this eleventh hour deal goes through it could undo so much
vital work our movement has done. But it’s not too late for you to
stop it. People power has pushed the world's biggest
financial institutions out of this project
-- let’s do it again and demand the CEO of the
Bank of New York Mellon rules out funding Adani’s dirty mine.
Add
your name: CEO Todd Gibbons, rule out funding Adani’s Carmichael
coal mine now!
The Bank of New York Mellon is one of the biggest US banks and
also one of the least climate friendly -- it has zero
policies limiting the financing of coal projects, and no intention
of working towards the Paris Agreement’s climate goals.
Which means the risk of Adani’s coal mine being funded is very
real.
Opposition to Adani’s controversial coal project has been
unstoppable. All around the world people have been standing
up against Adani, like the Wangan and Jagalingou people who
are the Traditional Owners of the land Adani is destroying and local
communities in Godda, India, where Adani is constructing a big new
coal power station.
This bank claims to be putting the future first, but if
this deal goes ahead BNY Mellon could be responsible for finally
giving Adani the cash it needs to get one of the largest coal mines
in the world operational.
Tell
Bank of New York Mellon CEO to follow the lead of major banks and
rule out funding Adani’s climate wrecking coal project.
