Tell Santander: Stop Financing Fossil Fuel Expansion in Latin America and Beyond!
Between April 24th - April 29th, dozens of national governments are convening in Colombia for the first-ever “Transition Away from Fossil Fuels International Conference.” Their goal? Accelerating the rapid and just phase out of fossil fuels.
However, there will be no transition away from fossil fuels if we do not address the financing of new coal, oil, and gas projects from the world’s largest banks.
And while the Spanish government is participating in the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels Conference, its largest bank, Santander, is the world’s largest financier of new fossil fuels in Latin America, bankrolling new oil and gas projects that destroy the Amazon, violate the rights of Indigenous Peoples, and accelerate the climate crisis.
Send an email to Santander executives now and demand that it stop financing all fossil fuel expansion, from Latin America to the US Gulf South and beyond.
