.@UBS, Switzerland's largest bank, fuels Glencore's destructive practices, driving global exploitation and environmental harm. We call for #UBSAccountability and a #BindingTreaty to hold transnational corporations accountable

.@jpmorgan facilitates @Glencore’s destructive operations through loans and investments. How long will we allow @jpmorgan to prioritize profit over human lives and our planet? Stop funding #HumanRights violations!

.@BlackRock is a top investor in Glencore, profiting from toxic pollution, land grabs, and human rights violations. It's time we make the world's largest asset manager put people and the planet before profits. #DivestNow

We took the streets of Geneva today for a #ToxicTour with the Swiss Coalition against @Glencore, showing how @BlackRock, @jpmorgan, and @UBS are deeply intertwined in Glencore’s global web of #HumanRights violations

"We need to transform the international financial system and we do that through international solidarity and mobilisation. If, for example, 20 banks and insurance companies stop financing a project it's delayed which is a win against corporate power" Guillaume Durin @BreakfreeCH

Strong warning from Helena Vines Fiestas from the Task Force Net Zero Policy at #GRT2024 #BuildingBridges2024 "transition plans & taxonomy" are connected & key but the "existing policies are not sufficient". "Phase out of fossil fuels & lobbying practices" must be regulated.

"These sobering impacts in the Arctic are one more manifestation of how policymakers in the United States and around the world are continuing to prioritize the profits of fossil fuel polluters over the well-being of people and the planet." commondreams.org/news/arctic-wi…

[4/4] Opening #COP16 @petrogustavo, who previously endorsed the @fossiltreaty initiative at a high cost on financial market, said it clear: deadly finance needs a better regulation #climateleadership. At #GRT2024 the #BuildingBridges2024 architect failed to connect the dots.

[1/4] Unchallenged, Patrick Odier @BBridgesCH #BuildingBridges24 at the @UNEP #GRT2024 advocates in favor of the Swiss finance way to deal with climate crisis based on transparency & collaboration avoiding "good or bad" speach. A so called "pragmatism" very far from reality 🧵

[3/4] As for us, "pragmatism" starts with an accurate evaluation of the situation. The one the @IEA & the @IPCC_CH @JKSteinberger analyzed. We are crossing red lines, self-regulation fails & the finance world must stop advocating vs. prudential & transition oriented regulation.

@BBridgesCH @UNEP [2/4] On the contrary leading 🇨🇭finance actors such as @UBS invest in fossil fuel expansionnist firms like BP, Total or Shell ignoring the UN High-Level Expert Group on Net 0 #IntegrityMatters ask to clarify their vote or their portfolio phase out strategy swissinfo.ch/eng/ubs-ditche…

@GENetwork @UNEP_FI @UNEP @andersen_inger @CFigueres @BBridgesCH @ilo @EricPUsher @WWF @WWF_DG @Geneve_int @LieselvA 20 years ago, it could have been part of the solution. But the finance world backs up the expansionnist fossil fuel sector through loans, bounds & weak engagement strategy + lobbying vs. climate regulation despite @IEA @IPCC_CH & @antonioguterres calls! france24.com/en/europe/2024…

@UNEP_FI @UNEP @andersen_inger @CFigueres @BBridgesCH @ilo @EricPUsher @WWF @WWF_DG @Geneve_int @LieselvA Sharing how #Switzerland measures a portfolio's sustainability progression, Patrick Odier, @BBridgesCH Chair, shares that "We are not trying to define what a good or bad industry is. We define early in our activities the notion of transition, the journey a sector has to make."

The @GENetwork is at the opening of 18th Global Roundtable, @UNEP_FI's flagship event that aims to drive action within the finance industry to accelerate practical approaches in advancing #SustainableFinance & implementing targets for #SDGs. #GRT2024 ▶️ unepfi.org/events/unep-fi…

🚨 NEW REPORT: For the first time, we reveal the staggering cost of climate change that the insurance industry has been passing on to policyholders and how insurers are digging their own (and our) graves. #InsureOurFuture #WithinOurPower [1/8] 🔗global.insure-our-future.com/scorecard/

"In a perillous moment" After Trump's élection, Mary Robinson @TheElders is calling hundreds of financiers gathered at #BuildingBridges24 to wake up about #climatejustice listening to the worlwide indigenous & global south movement and stand for human rights #fairwarning

At #BuildingBridges24 today, Eric Usher @UNEP urges the financial community, focused on USA & Europe, to understand multipolarity. Indeed, @Claudiashein Mexico, @LulaOficial Brazil, Colombia @petrogustavo & @CyrilRamaphosa South Africa defend a different agenda! #regulatefinance

We agree with Mary Robinson & Xiye Bastida talking at the #BuildingBridge 2024 Summit: The answer to the global far right surge is coming from the indigenous movement, global south & climate justice activists. #COP16 showed it: lecourrier.ch/2024/11/15/des… 🇺🇸 breakfreesuisse.org/carbo-fascism-…

🚨#BuildingBridges Summit number five starting in #Geneva today. Invited to join, we accepted. We've got a lot of data & analysis to share with the BlackRock, Amundi, Barclays, UBS financiers during their discussion with #UN Excellent occasion to talk about #financeregulation!
