Banks are pushing us into a financial and environmental
apocalypse by pumping billions into fossil fuel
industries.
But we can stop them by changing the rules for global banks and
forcing them to halt their climate-wrecking investments.
Our plan? Mobilize people like you, Vladimir, to share
your concerns and stories with the powerful regulators who
are - at this very moment - deciding the new rules on fossil fuel
finance.
Together, we can drown out the voices of the powerful
lobbies and get the regulators to listen and change the
rules for good!
Join
our partner’s workshop on Tuesday, February 15th at 17:00
GMT to help change the rules for global banks, to stop them
pumping money to dangerous fossil fuels!
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), a group of
financial regulation standard-setters who hold immense power, are
holding a “consultation” on the new rules next week. This is
a niche consultation, and as usual, the voices of industry &
lobbyists will be heard, but not those of the youth and
communities most affected by these decisions in the long term -
those suffering climate impacts and fighting for their
future.
But by clubbing together, we can take them by surprise by
answering their consultation en masse.
How? Take part in this open online consultation,
tell your story about your experience with climate change and the
climate movement, and demand new banking rules on fossil fuel
exploration and expansion.
To make this as easy as possible, we're running workshops
alongside our partners* at The Sunrise Project and
Positive Money on Tuesday, February 15th at
17:00 GMT to help activist groups be part of this
and submit their response easily. The workshop will:
- create a space for sharing personal experiences, and
- Walk you through how to respond to BCBS consultation,
underlining the importance of justice and personal impact of the
radical uncertainty surrounding climate-related financial risks.
Together we want to show the regulators that we are ready to hold
them accountable and we can’t be ignored.
Vladimir,
join the workshop to help change the rules for global banks, to stop
them pumping money to dangerous fossil fuels!
