Right now, the European Parliament is considering the ‘one-for-one’ capital requirements rule. This would make it incredibly hard for new fossil fuel projects to get funding and can help us achieve the kind of systemic change we desperately need.
For every euro invested in fossil fuels, EU companies would need to match it by another euro to cover any future losses. This forces financial giants to build their own safety net rather than rely on government bailouts, or in other words, our money.
Sign to tell the European Parliament: 'We call on you to support the 'one-for-one' rule for new fossil fuel projects. Fossil fuels are extremely risky for our economies and jeopardise our planet. Your job is to keep the banks and insurers away from recklessly funding them and protect our future."
