Overnight we published this ad about @DeutscheBank’s #coal funding in @DIEZEIT, one of Germany’s most read newspapers. Deutsche Bank must not arrange finance for Whitehaven Coal, a company that is planning THREE new or expanded coal mines. #Thread 🧵 Deutsche Bank claims to support the #ParisAgreement and #NetZero2050. Last year the @IEA concluded that #NetZero2050 means “no new coal mines or mine extensions”. More recently, the @IPCC warned yet again that limiting global warming to 1.5ºC means urgently phasing out coal.

現在日本は外務省を中心に、税金を財源とする政府開発援助(ODA)でバングラデシュのマタバリフェーズ2とインドネシアのインドラマユの石炭火力発電事業への支援を検討しています。この事業は、パリ協定の1.5度目標と石炭火力発電所の輸出支援を停止するという日本のG7合意に反しています。 Image そこで、外務省に電話をしてこの二つの事業を見直してほしいという意見を伝えるコールアクションを企画しました!

🌷7月12日から16日の間に投稿のステップにしたがって外務省に電話し、意見を伝えてください。🌷 Image
