This campaign was run in September 2016. For the most recent version of this content, and to find out what you can do to take action, click the button below to see our Funding climate failure report.
The big banks have all committed to keeping global warming to under 2°C, but are still funding fossil fuel projects. Tell them to stop!
To Australia’s big banks,
You claim to be committed to strong action on climate change. It’s time to prove it. Holding global warming to below two degrees requires urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Your actions and decisions are key to this outcome.
We demand that, as a minimum, you:
● Make no further investments that expand the size of the fossil fuel industry, and
● Reduce your exposure to the thermal coal sector to zero by 2020, and all fossil fuels by 2030.
