🚨 Barclays have announced their new fossil fuel policy
Coming only a day after the UN confirmed we had breached 1.5C of warming, it catches them up with other banks but in reality covers just a fraction of their fossil fuel lending 🤦
All banks must halt financing fossil fuel
Is your pension cheating on you? 🤯 While you’re cutting carbon, is your pension fooling round with fossil fuels? While you’re protecting the planet, is your pension getting down with deforestation? You deserve better - demand a net zero pension today.
