BankTrack, May 17, 2021
BankTrack has launched www.fossilbanks.org, a new campaign
platform that brings together
organisations and campaigns from all over the world pressuring
commercial banks to stop
financing the 🦖 fossil fuel industry. The Fossil Banks
No Thanks platform aims to present the
global resistance to bank financing for fossil fuels. It
features a Global Call on Banks to stop
financing the fossil fuel industry, which on the launch of the
website is already supported by 50
organisations from 19 countries.
Furthermore, the website on its launch already showcases 29
organisations and campaigns from
11 countries that are actively campaigning against fossil banks,
a number that is expected to
grow significantly over the next few months.

August 2021 Digest
Dear Anthony,
The publication of Part One of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment
report
at the beginning of August sends yet another clear warning ahead
of the Glasgow climate summit: we don't have another decade to
waste, and only rapid and drastic reductions in greenhouse gases
in
this decade can prevent climate breakdown. The IPCC warns that
temperatures are likely to rise by more than 1.5C, bringing
widespread extreme weather. As climate catastrophes continue to
be more and more frequent in every corner of the globe, banks
are,
however, far from taking the action needed to avoid climate
collapse.
This month we learned Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan Chase, and
Standard Chartered participated in a massive USD 1 billion loan
to
Adani Enterprises, a subsidiary of the Adani Group, which is
building
what would be the biggest coal mine in Australia, the Carmichael
thermal coal project.

This project would add billions of tonnes of CO2
into the atmosphere, destroying the land and culture
of the Wangan and Jagalingou people,
increasing shipping through the Great Barrier Reef, and
opening up the Galilee Basin.
Meanwhile, the world's biggest carbon sink is crossing the
tipping
point: according to scientists, the Amazon rainforest now emits
more carbon dioxide than it absorbs. And the best guardians of
the
forest, Indigenous Peoples, are under serious threat. This
month,
the Forests & Finance coalition warned investors about the risk
and
the irreversible consequences of the anti-environment and
anti-social
legislative agenda in the Brazilian Congress in a letter sent
to 80
financial institutions.
Also in this month's newsletter, bank ties to companies
supporting
the military junta in Myanmar are deeper than first thought. And
a
new dodgy deal on Okavango oil & gas drilling in Namibia &
Botswana, affecting a biodiverse area that is home to Africa's
largest remaining population of savanna elephants and other
threatened megafauna species.
With best wishes,
The BankTrack Team.

Central banks could play a critical role in catalyzing the rapid
shift of
financial flows away from oil, fossil gas, and coal. However, to
date,
central banks have instead tinkered at the edges, a new report

👉 Crédit Agricole 👉 Deutsche Bank 👉 ING
👉 JPMorgan 👉 Chase 👉Nordea Standard Bank
👉 UniCredit[/move]
Dear Anthony,
Welcome to BankTrack's March news digest. Yesterday saw the
publication of the 🎩🦕😈💰🦖
Banking on Climate Chaos report
HTML https://www.bankingonclimatechaos.org/,
which found that despite
banks’ ‘Net Zero’ rhetoric, 2021 fossil fuel financing remained
above 2016 levels
HTML https://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/2/3-300919160019-22721213.gif,<br
/>when the Paris Agreement was signed.
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-020422162009.png
This followed another report on fossil fuel financing earlier in
the month, with a focus on Africa. “Locked out of a Just
Transition”
HTML https://www.banktrack.org/article/at_least_132_billion_in_finance_for_fossil_fuels_is_locking_africa_out_of_a_just_transition_shows_new_report,<br
/>published by BankTrack together with Milieudefensie, Oil
Change
International and 19 African partners, highlights how fossil
fuel finance from European, Asian and North American financial
institutions is hampering the necessary just transition to
sustainable energy in Africa.
Also this month, the Dutch bank ING announced that it would not
finance any new oil and gas projects, while at the same time
emphasising that it will continue to provide financing to
‘clients active in keeping oil and gas flowing’. The Nordic bank
Nordea also made some progress with its latest climate policy,
but still does not rule out the financing of fossil fuel
projects. Unfortunately, South African Standard Bank's new
climate policy does not live up to the bank’s commitment to
shareholders to set goals to reduce its fossil fuel exposure,
and will not stop the bank from financing the increasingly
controversial East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project.
And against the backdrop of the Russian invasion of Ukraine,
BankTrack launched a letter to the CEOs of commercial banks with
exposure to Russia, calling on them to suspend all Russian
corporate and investment banking activities, and apply pressure
to any clients to also cease Russian operations.
Meanwhile Reclaim Finance and 15 other NGOs published the
🦖 Oil and 🦕 Gas Policy Tracker
HTML https://www.banktrack.org/article/the_oil_and_gas_policy_tracker_a_tool_to_detect_greenwashing_practices_in_the_finance_sector<br
/>
HTML https://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-250718204530.gif,<br
/>a new tool to assess the oil and gas exclusion policies of the
150 biggest financial institutions worldwide. And Fair Finance
Asia's new study shows a general lack of action on gender
equality and human rights among the financial institutions that
actively lend to the largest agribusinesses operating in Asia.
Finally, take a look at BankTrack's 2021 Annual Report
HTML https://www.banktrack.org/article/banktrack_publishes_its_2021_annual_report#_<br
/>that summarises our activities to end bank financing of
harmful
business activities and points to our new mission to call on
banks to act urgently and decisively in four interrelated global
emergencies.
With best wishes,
The BankTrack Team.
