"More than half of the pension schemes assessed by Make my Money Matter have both Shell and BP within their top holdings. Shell rolled back its targets to decrease fossil fuel production earlier this month, with new chief executive Wael Sawan positioning the decision as necessary to deliver value to shareholders.

"Earlier this year, BP stated that it is no longer likely to meet a previous pledge to reduce oil and gas production by 40% by 2030 against a 2020 baseline. BP argued that near-term demand for oil and gas is higher than it previously expected and stated that additional fossil fuel earnings can 'support investment' in the energy transition."

Our banks are in a hidden relationship with oil companies. Together, they're fuelling climate change.

In the last 12 months, the 'Big Five' UK high street banks – Barclays, HSBC, Santander, NatWest, and Lloyds – have given $37 billion to the fossil fuel industry.

Anyone with a bank account, use your #agencywithurgency

Deshalb hat die britische Kampagne "#MakeMyMoneyMatter" eine Aktion gestartet, um die Briten dazu zu bewegen, ihr Geld von den Großbanken abzuziehen, die Kredite an die #fossile Brennstoffindustrie vergeben.

Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry u.a. Prominente unterstützen die Kampagne; die Times of London und andere Zeitungen haben darüber berichtet.

Die Kampagne #StopDirtyBanks plant bereits Proteste vor Banken für den 21. März.
