"Investors are saying we can't conduct business in a world that is on fire, that has heatwaves and insufficient water. And I do think companies are beginning to understand that it's in their interest to take action."

"G20 international public finance is currently blocking a just energy transition, bankrolling 2.5 times more fossil fuels than clean energy."

"Oil companies use deceptive language and false promises to pretend they're solving the climate crisis, when in reality they're only making it worse," said Fossil Free Media director Jamie Henn.

"Governments have ignored the scientists who've warned that we're heading for catastrophe for decades. That's why so many are now engaging in nonviolent civil disobedience as a last-ditch effort."

"With Wall Street banks leading the charge, these financial institutions are directly complicit in undermining a climate-stable future for us all."

"Investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure will only lock in uneconomic practices, perpetuate existing risks, and increase the threats of climate change," warned the head of IRENA.
