#Barclays is still Europe's largest #fossilfuel financier
To become net-zero, it has urgent work to do this year to set fossil fuel phase-out targets.
Its new energy policy falls short of action required to tackle the #climatecrisis. More to followhttps://t.co/LQsUzBHLJp

Every year @RAN offers the most careful accounting of the planet's most irresponsible players. This year again @Chase leads the pack–since Paris it's handed the fossil fuel industry more than a 1/4 trillion dollars. They are arsonistshttps://t.co/443rVdljec

First Swedish pension fund #AP1 is going for full fossil fuel #divestment!
Billions will be pulled not only from coal, but from other corporations profitting from clomate-wrecking oil and gas, too. https://t.co/RTIgPRntB7

Stocks from @Shell in an "ethical" pension fund?
Yes, at the UK's largest fund manager @LGIM that was normal. Finally, after much pressure, it now starts a #FossilFuels-free fund.
These things can't continue. We need much more & sincere #divestmenthttps://t.co/C6UpoUyQfo
