Stop Funding Climate Chaos

The scientific and moral imperative is clear: there must be no new investment in fossil fuel expansion, including production, infrastructure and exploration. - Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary General

 

Simply put, turning off the money pipeline is one of the most effective ways to stop increasing the input of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere.

Rivers & Mountains GreenFaith - in coalition with Stop the Money Pipeline,  TH!RD ACT, and GreenFaith - plans and organizes actions directed at banks, insurance companies, asset managers and institutional investors to stop funding, insuring and investing in climate destruction… and, to realign their business with renewable clean energy.
