Mission
Bank Climate Advocates (BCA) combats climate change and its adverse effects primarily by using legal advocacy and action to align public financial institutions' investment policies and practices with the 1.5 degrees C warming limitation objective. Our aim is to drive systemic change in financial institutions to help save the world and its inhabitants from global warming. BCA recognizes the importance of, and is committed to, fostering Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) within its staff, Board of Directors, members, and volunteers and in all our efforts as provided in BCA's JEDI policy. This also maximizes the effectiveness of BCA as a whole and benefits the diverse people and communities we strive to serve around the world, including those who are especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
Program accomplishments
- BCA focused its efforts to align public financial institutions' (PFIs') investment policies and practices with the 1.5 degrees C warming limitation objective on the following Multilateral Development Banks: The World Bank Group (including IFC, IBRD and MIGA), Asian Development Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and European Investment Bank. Closely coordinated and pursued with support from leading civil society organizations from the Global South and North, BCA's campaigns with these PFIs include: (1) BCA led written and oral legal advocacy to PFI management, member state shareholders, and accountability mechanisms; (2) legal research and analysis; (3) creation and use of evidentiary databases documenting a PFI's systematic failures to adhere to its climate policies and obligations under international law across all its investments; and (4) public outreach. BCA's efforts to improve and programmatically enforce PFI climate change policies that apply prior to financing decisions across a PFI's entire portfolio is needed to drive the systemic internal behavioral, cultural, and structural changes for a PFI to: cease financing fossil fuels; shift its financial flows to fair, just, and sustainable renewable energy infrastructure; fully account for and publicly disclose each investment's GHG emissions; and achieve as close to net zero GHG emissions as possible all investments. Without these significant reforms, PFIs will not be able to align their finance flows with the 1.5 degrees C objective and their human rights obligations.Expenses $141,963
