正文(英文) | In October 2021, an inter-religious message and appeal acknowledged the need to align financial investments with environmentally and socially responsible standards, ensuring greater accountability and transparency, and moving away from investments in fossil fuels and toward investments in renewable energy and restorative agriculture. Accordingly, we, leaders of the undersigned organisations, affirm our commitment to engaging with the financial institutions through which we bank, invest, and seek insurance coverage, to ensure that our financial dealings are aligned with the Paris Agreement objective of limiting global warming to 1.5° C. In response to the gravity of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th Assessment Report, we expect all financial service providers working for our organisations to ensure their activities are promoting a just transition to a sustainable future and not contributing to the climate crisis and harming vulnerable populations, children and future generations of life on earth. As documented by UNICEF, one billion children at ‘extremely high risk’ of the impacts of the climate crisis" We ask our financial service providers to invest in renewable energies and innovative environmental solutions that are sustainable for people, communities and ecosystems. We will review our pension, banking, insurance and other financial service arrangements to ensure evidence-based accountability in this regard, as a moral imperative and responsibility to all children and the living world. We call upon our financial service providers to take urgent and effective action to transition out of fossil fuel financing – in line with decarbonisation pathways as established by the scientific community1 – while positioning investment portfolios in ways that will help to meet net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, by
We urge the financial institutions working with our organisations to regularly report on progress, including establishing intermediate targets every five years3 in line with the Paris Agreement Article 4.9. We invite all members of our constituencies and all our partners to do likewise, so that together we may move beyond words to effective action and be the change for which we call.
