To all Australian banks,

As the funders for many of our biggest and boldest projects, you hold the unique power to direct huge money into solutions to the climate crisis — and away from making it worse. We urge you to invest in our future, not coal and gas. We call on you to:

  • Set a deadline — 2030 or earlier — to end all your investments in thermal coal
  • Rule out funding any new or expanded thermal coal, oil or gas projects
  • Ramp up funding for climate solutions like clean energy

Latest Supporters

Invest in our Future, Fund clean energy projects. Do It Now before it is too Late to turn back!

Coal and gas cause climate change.

We will not survive unless we turn to renewable energy immediately.

The propping up with loans to the fossil fuel industry must stop now.

Loan to wind, solar and the development of innovate renewable new energy sources instead.

Only that will give the planet an immediate future.

You have a moral responsibility to do the right thing for our planet. My money must never be used for dangerous, greedy businesses. Become the completely caring and honest bank. One planet so in danger thanks to the Profits At Any Cost Mob.

Banks are in the perfect position to ramp up funding for research and development into battery solutions, and other clean energy industries of the future.

Climate Change is a real issue. A pandemic was forecasted and we are in it and so too climate change. We reap what we sow

Companies all over the world are divesting from fossil fuels. They’ve looked to the future and realised coal and gas aren’t part of that future. If Australian banks want to survive and continue to earn their outrageous profit margins then you must be divesting RIGHT NOW!!!
For the only planet we have.

I wouldn’t have thought it necessary to ask banks to stop lending to fossil fuel projects after the last summer of fires in Australia, but clearly I was wrong. Please WAKE UP! The future is coming at us at a horrendous rate, our kids are not going to thank you for the survival shitfight that you are preparing for them…../Peter

Some banks will not lend to fossil fuel projects. I applaud them. Your bank continues to fund fossil fuel projects. Knowing what you know about the impact this is having on our world how can you justify this? Shame on you.

Time is running out. See the latest sea level rises and think about the way that coal and oil are putting your investments at risk, where ever they are anywhere near sea level.
