JPMorgan Chase
#1 in the world for fossil fuel financing.
Your money is being used to fund the climate crisis at an alarming rate.
JP Morgan Chase is one of the world’s biggest funders of fossil fuels.* In the 7 years since the Paris Agreement, the banks in this category have funneled $5.5 trillion USD into coal, oil, and gas, rapidly accelerating the climate crisis.
While you’ve been saving money for a house or a weekend getaway, JPMorgan Chase has been using your savings to provide financial support to some very questionable fossil fuel friends.
And it's not just a little here and there; we’re talking about $ 434.2 billion USD in the 7 years since 197 countries agreed to drastically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in the Paris Agreement.
JPMorgan Chase is the top funder of fossil fuels in the world, being the largest supporter of fossil fuel expansion, and even the top funder of oil and gas extraction in the Amazon biome.
Your bank is 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.
