*[Enwl-eng] A victory for the climate
ENWLine
Hi,
People power has once again shown that it is possible to stop the world’s biggest bankrollers of climate change.
The massive online protests that you joined together with many others from different parts of the world have forced Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation’s withdrawal from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), a global fund under the auspices of the United Nations climate pact allocated for low-emission and climate-resilient development.
Celebrate this victory by sharing the news on social media.
At the GCF Board meeting that took place last night, it was announced that SMBC withdrew its application for accreditation with the GCF.
But our work is not finished yet.
We will continue to challenge governments and businesses to put people and planet first – to immediately stop further investments in fossil fuels and transition towards 100% renewable energy.
Onwards,
Chuck Baclagon for 350.org
350.org is building a global climate movement. You can connect with us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and become a sustaining donor to keep this movement strong and growing.
