Following Wet'suwet'en Leadership and Land Defenders in Gidimt’en Checkpoint, as well as participating in this Global Day of Action, we will shine a spotlight on the planet-killing investments RBC continues to make, and articulate the need for a united front against those who profit from human rights abuses and climate destruction.
We are calling for defunding of CGL and all other fossil fuel expansion projects. --- RBC is the biggest funder of fossil fuels in Canada (5th in the world). It has poured over $200 Billion into fossil fuels since the Paris climate agreement was signed.
On November 1st, the UN climate conference in Glasgow (COP26) will begin, with a focus on climate finance. This gives us a crucial opportunity to pressure RBC into ceasing to finance fossil fuels and respect Indigenous rights.
