IS YOUR MONEY FUELLING THE CLIMATE CRISIS?
Your bank or super fund may be using your savings to fund polluting coal, oil, and gas projects. Subscribe for updates and find out how you can protect our planet by cutting off the supply of money to dirty fossil fuels.
Despite the need for urgent action to tackle climate change, Australia’s banks, super funds, and insurance firms are providing billions of dollars worth of investment and support to the fossil fuel industry every year. This means your money could be contributing to the construction of coal-fired power stations, fracking wells, mega-mines, and other projects that are destabilising our climate.
But you can help to stop this.
You can be part of the growing fossil fuel divestment movement that is putting the pressure on financial institutions and tipping the finance sector into abandoning its fossil fuel investments for good. There are many ways that we can make an impact, including by:
- Raising our voices and calling out the banks, super funds and insurers that are supporting environmental destruction
- Choosing to shift our money away from the worst offenders and into a bank or super fund that does not finance fossil fuels
- Using our rights as shareholders to call for companies to make stronger climate commitments, and hold them accountable
You can get started on your divestment journey by signing up to receive email updates from Market Forces using the form on this page. We’ll show you how you can check up on your current bank or super fund (if you haven’t already), and keep you posted on what you can do to be part of the effort to make sure that your money is used for good, not climate destruction.
