Regulators

If financial institutions want to gamble with our future, it needs to be with their own money, not ours.

If financial institutions want to gamble with our future, it needs to be with their own money, not ours. For every dollar banks and governments invest in fossil fuels, they must use a dollar of their own funds to cover any future losses themselves, rather than rely on government bailouts. The One for One rule will stop banks and insurers fueling the climate crisis, and causing other financial chaos.

WHAT IS ONE FOR ONE?

Banks and financial institutions accelerate the climate crisis through financing new fossil fuel projects.

  1. With every one of these investments, financial institutions are also pushing us all closer to another financial crash.
  2. If financial institutions want to gamble with our future, it needs to be with their own money, not ours. For every dollar they invest in fossil fuels, they must use a dollar of their own funds to cover any future losses themselves, rather than rely on government bailouts.
  3. This simple One-for-One rule will quickly turn fossil fuels into a highly unattractive investment, and effectively stop the financing of new fossil fuel projects.
  4. We are building a global movement to push politicians and central banks to put this simple rule in place.
