Ask Big Banks to Defund Climate Change

It is simple. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has given us a timeline. We only have 12 years left to take bold and sweeping action on climate.

If we do not take action, we will experience the worst impacts of climate change. We've already gotten a taste of what's to come: rising sea levels, record breaking droughts, hurricanes, and storms.

We know what needs to happen. We must stop fossil fuels from being extracted and burned and keep our forests intact. To do that, we have to push financial institutions to stop funding these projects once and for all.

This year, we're making a New Year’s resolution to take action on climate. Join the Rainforest Action Network in demanding big banks #defundclimatechange.

It has been proven time and time again that fossil fuels and deforestation is exacerbating climate change. The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has made it clear: we must stop funding these projects to avoid catastrophic climate change.
We are demanding that you finally end your financing of climate change and fossil fuels.
It is time to stand on the right side of history.
