Climate Finance

Examining and challenging the financial sector’s role in propping up fossil fuel companies presents a strategic opportunity to stop new fossil fuel projects in their tracks, and advance stronger governmental protections for people and climate. We work in close partnership with frontline allies in advancing demands, organizing creative action, and directly engaging asset managers and employees. 

Our current climate finance campaigns focus on pushing the financial sector to divest from fossil fuel projects and invest in climate solutions, such as renewable energy infrastructure. We’re also swaying major pension funds throughout North America to pull their money out of fossil fuel companies that violate Indigenous rights and exacerbate the climate crisis, and reinvest it in climate-safe solutions. Thanks to our efforts, New York City recently announced its pension would reinvest $7 billion in climate solutions, far exceeding its 2018 goal of $4 billion.
