Multi-Faith Climate Finance Pledge

FINANCE THE FUTURE, NOT ITS DESTRUCTION

Avoiding climate disaster requires an immediate end to new fossil fuel development.
But—the world’s banks and asset managers continue to funnel trillions into new coal, oil and gas projects, creating humanitarian and ecological devastation. This is wrong.

Religious Organizations Must Protect People and Planet.

Religious institutions’ financial assets are in the trillions of dollars. They have an ethical duty to align these holdings with their commitment to protect people and the planet.

Financing the Future

That is why faith institutions and people of diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds around the globe are calling on banks and asset managers to finance the future, not to destroy it.
Our call for commitment: Banks and asset managers must measurably align their portfolios with a 1.5 degree future and universal access to clean energy by 2030, making clear progress before then, or we will move our funds to institutions aligned with our values.
