Soo,
This week the government’s asking the public’s opinion on how far and fast it should ‘green’ our financial system –
and we have a chance to send them a strong message.
This could help stop fossil fuel funding and accelerate the transition to clean energy we urgently need, but ministers will only act if they feel enormous public pressure.
To take part, we just need to send one email each, and it won’t take long, because we’ve written some tips to make it quick and easy.
The consultation closes in 48 hours. Please will you join thousands of us and share your views now?
Yes, I'll email the government
Thanks to constant public pressure from communities like ours, ministers have agreed to look into updating the country’s Green Finance Strategy – which is so weak it still allows banks to fund fossil fuels!
The fact that three government departments have come together to ask our views on this vital policy area shows they’re taking it seriously,
but with pro-fossil fuel forces gaining ground since the energy crisis, we need to be louder than ever.
It’s thanks to actions from the public that we’ve come this far. But the government’s policies are still lagging far behind their words.
That's why we need a HUGE response that shows that people everywhere want a clean energy revolution.
Our partners at Positive Money are helping thousands of people in their movement respond too.
Can you join in and take a few minutes to email the government now?
Yes, I'll email the government
People power has already won key victories on this front – like convincing Rishi Sunak to give the Bank of England a mandate to protect our planet. Now we can push more government departments to get serious about greening our system.
