Triodos Bank had the opportunity to join the #climatehub at the UN Bonn Climate Change Conference on 11 June, organised by We Don't Have Time, the world's largest platform for #climateaction. Jacco Minnaar, Chief Commercial Officer at Triodos Bank, talked about the need for the financial sector to phase out fossil fuels. Triodos Bank believes the financial sector plays a crucial role in achieving a net-zero society, because it matters what we do with our money. That is why Triodos Bank was the first bank to support the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, an international call on governments to end the expansion of fossil fuel exploration and production. As it stands now, 21 members of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values have also joined this call. You can find more information on our support for the fossil fuel treaty here: https://lnkd.in/efFX4tiq. And in the clip below you can hear Jacco Minnaar talk about the difficulties large banks have in ending the financing of fossil fuels.
