Access Bank
Your bank is failing on climate responsibility.
Access is a major funder of fossil fuels. It does also fund renewable energy but those amounts pale in comparison.
We would like to see Access disclose the greenhouse gas emissions enabled by its lending and set sector-specific targets to reduce those emissions.
We would also like to see it set a policy that it will not fund new fossil fuel projects.

Your bank may be ignoring the Paris Agreement.
The Paris Agreement set the goal to stay under 1.5°C of warming for very good reasons. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an increase of just a couple of degrees more could lead to "substantial species extinction, large risks to global and regional food security", and an inability to work outside — or even live — in some areas of the world. Our world will become unrecognizable as ocean dead zones, floods, and extreme weather fuel social and economic disruption.
