The fossil banks movement is going mainstream
Climate activists in over 100 cities across the US held boisterous rallies in front of banks this week to demand that top US lenders stop financing the expansion of the fossil fuel sector.
We can’t stop climate chaos if banks like RBC keep funding fossil fuels
Canada’s biggest bank, RBC, talks about “purpose” and says climate change is a critical issue. But its funding practices tell a different story:
$262 Billion in fossil fuel funding since Paris
Making RBC the fifth biggest fossil bank on Earth
Financing Coastal GasLink, TMX, & Line 3
Projects that violate Indigenous rights
51% increase in tar sands financing in 2021
Lending $34.5B to the world's dirtiest energy project since 2016
It’s code red for humanity, but while our planet literally burns, banks like RBC are pouring more fuel on the fire.
Join the growing global movement to stop the funders of climate change.
