Banking on Climate Chaos is a collaborative report authored by Rainforest Action Network, BankTrack, the Centre for Energy, Ecology, and Development, Indigenous Environmental Network, Oil Change International, Reclaim Finance, Sierra Club, and Urgewald. The report sheds light on the alarming trend of banks increasing their financing to fossil fuels despite the growing concerns of climate change.

Allison Fajans-Turner, policy Lead at Rainforest Action Network, expressed her concerns about the banks’ continued investment in fossil fuels, stating that without binding regulation, banks will continue to prioritize profits over the well-being of the planet. She emphasized the need for government intervention to steer banks towards more sustainable investments.

Tom BK Goldtooth, executive director of the Indigenous Environmental Network, criticized banks for their greenwashing tactics and false promises. He highlighted the harmful impact of the fossil fuel industry on Indigenous communities and called for a transition towards renewable energy solutions rooted in Indigenous sovereignty and traditional knowledge.

David Tong, global industry campaign manager at Oil Change International, called out banks for their lack of action in aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement. He urged banks to stop financing fossil fuel companies that contribute to global warming and environmental degradation.

Lucie Pinson, director and founder at Reclaim Finance, also criticized banks for their continued support of fossil fuel expansion, despite the urgent need to address climate change. She called out European banks for failing to uphold their climate commitments and opting for profit over sustainability.

In response to the report, a Barclays spokesperson defended the bank’s financing decisions, claiming to support clean energy initiatives. UK Finance emphasized the importance of transitioning to a low-carbon economy as a priority for the financial services industry.

The PA sustainability reporter, Rebecca Speare-Cole, highlighted the urgent need for banks to rethink their investment strategies in light of the climate crisis. The report’s findings underscore the critical role of banks in driving the transition towards a sustainable and environmentally conscious economy.

As the impacts of climate change continue to worsen, it is crucial for banks to prioritize sustainable investments and support initiatives that mitigate the effects of global warming. Only through collective action and regulatory oversight can banks be held accountable for their role in perpetuating climate chaos.
