Greta Thunberg Instagram – Only a week ago I was in Paris at the shareholder meeting of the French Oil company total to let them know they need to stop EACOP because youth from around the world are watching their actions, not their words. Their words are meaningless. This week we bring the same message to the biggest German bank behind Total, Postbank and its mother company Deutsche Bank. The headquarter of Postbank is in Bonn, just 900 meters away from the UN conference center where diplomats forge initiatives to stop the climate crisis from escalating. The distance from those who finance the burning of fossil fuels, the destructions of lives and livelihoods, of future and present and those who try to stop the worst from happening could not be bigger. And yet they are only a walk in the park away. We ask a simple question: How do we expect the world to stop digging up new gas and oil if not even the French oil company is ending exploration of new fossil fuels? Another question, how do we expect the UN conference to agree on a full fossil fuel phase out if extraction is still being financed? We demand two simple steps: Stop Total from building most symbolic pipeline in the world – EACOP in Uganda and Tanzania. And end all new oil and gas exploration around the world, in line with the @IEA Net Zero scenario and @fbirol call for: “no new oil and gas”. Pics: @mariejacquemn Bonn, Germany
