Webinar will provide new insights on climate-responsible banking

A webinar entitled “Climate-Responsible Banking: A Moral Imperative towards Children“ on 3 July will increase awareness of how investments into new fossil fuel expansion imperil the wellbeing of children, youth, and future generations, to advance actions of faith-based actors and hold accountable those investing in fossil fuels.

Organized by the World Council of Churches (WCC), UN Environment Programme, and Joint Learning Initiative on Faith and Local Communities, the webinar will provide an update on the 9 May 2022 statement on climate-responsible finance and commitments made on the five calls to action.

The event will ensure youth participation and highlight the consequences of fossil fuel financing on young people’s mental health, with a focus on ways to address root causes.

Besides introducing the climate-responsible financial choices and sharing insights on their changing legal landscape, the event will inspire participants through testimonials by faith leaders. Illustrating how climate-responsible banking can help to tackle root causes of desertification, the event aims to serve as a milestone towards the UN Summit of the Future.

The event will be facilitated by Dia Mirza, UN Environmental Programme, Goodwill Ambassador. Speakers will include:
