‼️Please share ⬇️ widely. It is appalling that the Australian pavilion at @COP26 is sponsored by oil & gas Santos & Australian bushfire survivors are not welcome‼️A new low for @ScottMorrisonMP & @AngusTaylorMP. This is beyond wrong. 🌏 #auspol #climate #integrity #racetozero

Tomorrow is Finance day at the UN climate talks #COP26.

We'll hear lots about how private banks are fuelling the climate crisis.

💡But which central banks are falling behind, and how can they step up?

All these fights are connected. Climate crisis and social inequities are symptoms of a world shaped by colonialism & then by capitalism, both of them ways of organising society that value comfort of one group over the lives of another.

"The withdrawal of cash from ATMs is much more widespread in poorer communities than affluent ones and the refusal to accept cash payments will obviously have a disproportionate, discriminatory effect on them." 💷

The banking giant Lloyds is aiming to buy 50,000 homes in the next 10 years and charge tenants rent as a private landlord.

We need to start treating housing like a human right, not a financial asset 🏠

The #IPCC report will have left many feeling helpless, but there are some things we can do as individuals to make a difference. @austethical CEO John McMurdo and MP @zalisteggall are urging Australians to switch super funds for the planet. ⬇️#EthicalSuper https://t.co/gsYrxTaYL6

The BBC's persistent lies about the livestock industry have real-world consequences. They insulate it from challenge, contribute to public ignorance, help sustain one of the greatest threats to the living world.
That is not a public service.

Lots of people are talking about how to protect the financial system from the risks created by climate change.

"It’s no secret that big banks have a history of backing coal.. [so] do newer, smaller fintechs have an opportunity to do better for the planet and people?" writes @T__McCabe.

Great think piece in @EcoVoice on why #fintechs could lead the way in #sustainablebanking 💚
