Stop the bankers funding climate change

There is a campaign to highlight that for every £1000 you may invest today, there is a guaranteed return of 1000 tonnes of CO2.

The more that is invested by the top five UK banks, the more funding is available to contribute to CO2 from fossil fuel extraction, processing and carbon-intensive energy production.


Activists from the World Development Movement are highlighting how these banks are financing CO2 emissions through investment in fossil fuel companies.

At least 300,000 people die each year as a result of climate change and 99% of these deaths occur in developing countries.
