It’s simple — to keep global warming below 1.5°C, fossil fuels need to stay in the ground.

On 8 October, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its special report on climate change, and the steps needed to keep global warming below 1.5°C. We take it as a call to action.

The report puts climate science on the headlines, and serves as a wake-up call to the world: to have any chance of avoiding runaway climate change, no new fossil fuel project can be allowed to go ahead. It’s a matter of survival.

It’s our chance to point the finger at those responsible. The fossil fuel industry, and the institutions who finance coal and gas projects, are knowingly causing the climate crisis.

So this October we’re going after banks.
