Write to Citi and demand they stop financing fossil fuel expansion, uphold
human rights, and invest in the clean energy transition that the world needs
Dear Jack,
Have you seen our email? As extreme weather intensified by climate change
devastates communities around the world, it's urgent that we stop burning
fossil fuels and transition to a clean energy system. Yet Big Banks continue to
finance new fossil fuel operations, worsening the climate crisis and
environmental injustices.
Write today and tell Citi leaders to stop enabling the harms of the fossil
fuel industry.

According to the 2024 Banking on Climate Chaos
<[link removed]> report, Citi is the second-largest
financier of fossil fuels and the largest financier of fossil fuel expansion
since the Paris climate agreement, having poured $396 billion into the industry
since 2016.
In 2024, along with other large US banks, it exited the Net Zero Banking
Alliance convened by the United Nations, calling further into question its
commitment to cooperating across the finance sector towards key climate goals.
It is unacceptable that Citi and other Big Banks continue to profit from
business with the fossil fuel industry as people around the world face deadly
climate disasters and future projections grow increasingly dire.
In the summer of 2024, activists with the Summer of Heat on Wall Street
engaged in a sustained campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience to demand that
Citi take the climate crisis seriously. Let's keep the pressure on.
Write to Citi and demand they stop financing fossil fuel expansion, uphold
human rights, and invest in the clean energy transition that the world needs.
