Banks and pension funds in the UK are fuelling climate change Dear Alan, Banks and pension funds in the UK are fuelling climate change by pouring billions of pounds into dirty coal, oil and gas around the world. Only government regulation can make the finance sector quit fossil fuels – and to persuade the government to act, we need to keep the issue in the media. Please email your local paper using our sample letter or your own words. With money from UK banks, the Cerrejón coal mine in Colombia has wiped whole villages from the map. Coal dust has ruined the health and polluted the land of people remaining in the area. Dirty fossil fuel projects like Cerrejón destroy people’s lives as well as bringing us ever closer to climate catastrophe. Last time we asked supporters to write to their local press – on food speculation – more than 50 letters were published in papers across the country. We think there’s a good chance local papers will also be keen to print your letters on financing for climate change. Please help us bring this urgent issue the attention it deserves. Many thanks for your support, Kirsty Wright Senior climate campaigner, WDM
