Christian Aid unimpressed with Sunak announcement at COP26 Finance Day

Responding to Chancellor Rishi Sunak's speech today which marks the start of Finance Day at COP26 in Glasgow, Christian Aid's UK Advocacy and Policy Lead, Jennifer Larbie, said:

"It’s welcomed that the Chancellor recognises London’s financial sector is critical to any meaningful progress towards a global net zero. 

"But this announcement does little to shift the dial now on the trillions still flowing into fossil fuel projects every day, with the deadliest of impacts borne by developing countries. 

"The UK government must mandate the financial sector to act with urgency to end fossil fuel investments."
