RSVP now for the Multi-Faith Climate Finance Launch Call

GreenFaith Logo

I’ll be blunt: This moment is urgent.

Financial institutions continue to bankroll the climate’s destruction, pouring billions into the fossil fuel industry: an industry without a sustainable future. Now more than ever, we need asset managers and banks to withhold investments from the fossil fuel industry and invest in a green recovery.

That’s why we’re organizing people of faith around 5 moral standards for climate finance. These standards will position leaders to put necessary moral pressure on their institution’s investors.

RESERVE YOUR SPOT

On February 24, 2022 (call times TBD) people of faith around the world will gather to:

  • Learn more about how financial industries have authorized and aided in climate destruction by investing in the fossil fuel industry;
  • Get energized to organize to hold asset managers and banks accountable as people of faith; and
  • Commit to bold next steps in their regions.

Reserve your spot at the Multi-Faith Climate Finance Campaign Launch Call and learn from grassroots leaders and frontline communities who are already doing just that.

I'M IN!

We know that the divestment movement has shifted the fossil fuel industry’s focus. Trillions of dollars have been divested from fossil fuels. But more movement is necessary for a truly livable future.

People in the global north and anyone with institutional access to wealth have a responsibility to act in solidarity with frontline communities, aligning investments with climate justice.

We need to creatively respond to climate change– that’s why I once walked over 200 miles in an effort to get the Presbyterian Church (USA) to divest from fossil fuels. (That’s me all the way on the left in the photo!)

People of faith have a moral responsibility to boldly challenge institutions with power to adhere to ethical standards of practice. Together, we can build a culture of reverence for the life of the planet and all people.

Let’s do this,
