Climate Finance
We know the money to fund fair and accessible renewable energy already exists – let's reclaim it. Join us!
No matter where we live, what we do for a living or how much we earn, most of us want to see a bright future for this generation – and the one after that. The biggest threat to that future is the climate crisis. But we know how to fix it: get every single person to use clean, fair, affordable renewable energy and stop fossil fuels. The money is there to make that happen. It’s just powering the wrong things.
Governments, banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions control huge amounts of money. They can invest their money in what will ensure a liveable climate for us all, or they can keep fuelling the crisis. Our task is to demand they choose the right path!
We need to stop backing fossil fuel companies and infrastructure, like new pipelines, fracking drill rigs or coal power plants. We must start investing in solar and wind power produced within our communities, which creates jobs and boosts local economies. Investing now is making a downpayment for generations to come.
Who decides how the money is spent and who benefits matters. People who did the least to cause the climate crisis should not continue paying the price. They need a say in how the money is spent, while rich countries and big polluters must now pay their fair share. That’s what climate finance is about, and that’s what we fight for at 350.org.
