Money is the oxygen on which the climate crisis burns.
But following the money and shifting where it's going is how we'll win.
Read MoreHow we'll win:
Around the world, people-powered movements are running strategic campaigns to take on financial players -- like banks, investors, and insurance companies -- to force them to shift their money out of fossil fuels and instead put it in our communities. We're demanding that big finance players and governments invest in policies and packages to ensure lower energy bills; homes and businesses fueled by renewables; upgraded and efficient buildings; and so much more that our families need. And we're rewriting the rules of the financial system to do so. Together, we'll forcing finance out of fossil fuels and into a just, clean future.

Renewable energy future we're fighting for
Big finance is funding fossil fuels -- but should be financing our renewable future.

Banks
Banks are backing the fossil fuel industry: in 4 years, the world’s 60 largest banks invested $3.8 trillion into fossil fuel projects and companies. While many of us do our part to slow climate change, banks use our money to prop up the very companies making climate change worse. Banks should stop funding fossil fuels and instead fund our communities and renewable energy.
Asset Managers
Global asset managers manage your pension, 401K, and our future. They're currently supplying fossil fuel companies with a steady stream of capital. But, if we want a safe and secure future, our assets should be invested in clean energy and our communities.
Investors
Real climate action from investors is more pressing and important than ever. More often, we’re seeing climate-fuelled extreme weather events debilitating communities across the world and leaving death and destruction in their wake. If climate chaos, enabled by the investment industry, is allowed to wreak havoc on this world, shareholders will have a lot more to worry about than just their profits drying up. Shareholders should be demanding more clean energy policies and financing.
Insurance Companies
The fossil fuel industry depends on insurance coverage for building and maintaining its coal mines, power plants and pipelines. Insurance companies are supposed to protect us from catastrophic risks. Yet when it comes to the largest threat to humanity – climate change – insurers are perpetuating dependence on fossil fuels by insuring new coal, oil, and gas projects.
Regulators and governments
Governments and regulators need to hold companies responsible for their fossil fuel investments and force them to instead invest in communities. These same actors also need to provide public funding for clean energy.
Together, we're extinguishing the fire
The climate crisis can feel overwhelming. But cutting off the money supply is a powerful tool for change. Across the world, activists, groups, and social movements are organising to hold finance giants to account.
