"InfluenceMap found Canada’s big five banks (RBC, TD, BMO, CIBC and Scotiabank) provided US$131 bn to fossil fuel companies in 2024, on average representing 18% of their entire financing portfolios. That’s more than twice than the top US banks, & more than three times their top European peers." 👀👇
Mark Carney's 'Tragedy of the Horizons' speech was a landmark moment for the financial sector to recognize climate change was a severe threat, but a decade later he's flouting his own prophetic warning as climate breakdown rapidly approaches.
