Add Your Name: Citi must stop fueling the climate crisis

Citi’s support for new fossil fuel projects jeopardizes our communities’ health, human rights, and future generations. As we experience the very real effects of the climate crisis, the cost of inaction is too high.

Together, let’s demand Citi stop funding fossil fuels for the sake of our communities — and our planet.

A major catalyst for the climate crisis is the funding of the fossil fuel industry by big banks. Banks invest billions of dollars into coal, oil, and gas corporations that create dirty energy, instead of massively expanding the renewables we need for safe, healthy communities.

Enter Citibank: a major climate offender. Citi is the second largest fossil fuel funder in the world, pouring $332 billion into the industry since the Paris Climate Agreement was signed in 2016. Citi has provided funding to companies like Exxon, Shell, Chevron, and Enbridge, who are building polluting new tar sands pipelines, oil rigs, and methane gas terminals, despite powerful resistance from frontline communities defending their right to a clean, healthy environment. 

Citi must stop financing new fossil fuel projects and the companies behind dangerous coal, oil, and gas expansion. Citi must also refuse to finance any companies that are violating human rights, especially the rights of impacted Indigenous communities.

Sign our petition to fight for your community’s health and safety by demanding that Citi stop funding fossil fuels.

Recent extreme weather is not coincidental. They are symptoms of an escalating climate crisis that has been building for decades.

A major catalyst for this crisis is the funding of the fossil fuel industry by big banks. Banks invest billions of dollars into coal, oil, and gas corporations that create dirty energy, instead of doubling down on the renewables we need.

Citi and its board chair, John Dugan, are major climate offenders. Under Dugan, Citi has provided funding to companies like Exxon, Shell, Chevron, and Enbridge, who are building polluting new pipelines, oil rigs, and power plants, despite frontline resistance. These unethical investments make Citi the second largest funder of fossil fuels in the world.

Citi’s support for new fossil fuel projects jeopardizes our communities’ health, human rights, and future generations. As we experience the very real effects of the climate crisis, the cost of inaction is too high.

Together, let’s demand Citi and Dugan divest from fossil fuels for the sake of our communities — and our planet.
