Poverty is extremely expensive.
Nowhere is this more visible than in Cambodia, where insufficiently regulated micro finance institutions have created a severe crisis of over-indebtedness, land loss and existential pressure.

⚠️ New analysis ⚠️
20 Big Banks that attended COP30 financed $409 billion in fossil fuels in 2024 — that's nearly half of global bank fossil fuel finance.
👉 These fossil fuel financiers are also bankrolling war, genocide, and human rights atrocities.
READ: kickbigpollutersout.org/Big-Banks-COP30
In 2025, just 12 banks provided almost 40% of ALL fossil fuel funding from banks worldwide. That’s right, a dozen dirty banks are responsible for well over a third of the $906 billion poured into fossil fuels last year.

Methodist churches are set to file a complaint over HSBC’s financing of Glencore's Cerrejón coal mine in La Guajira, Colombia. The churches allege that the lender’s financing of the mining company is contributing to environmental harms.

Can a bank pretend it cares about sustainability and invest in Elon Musk's SpaceX? 🤔
That's what Dutch bank ING is doing, as it's involved in SpaceX IPO out this week.
Meanwhile, SpaceX is tricking the system to get away with a fantasy valuation.

Bank bosses hitting out at a tax on their windfall profits can only mean one thing: they're rattled.
They keep making excuses for why they should be allowed to profit at our expense. None of these hold water.
