[📊Report] The 60 largest banks are exposed to $1.35tn in fossil fuel assets whose value will drop in the transition to #netzero.

Using the annual reports of 60 of the world biggest banks, we have estimated their exposures to fossil fuel assets - indisputably #StrandedAssets. We found levels similar to the 2008 banks exposures to #subprime mortgages. The threat of a #fossilsubprimes crisis is a reality
