PART 1: The Purposeful Investor
Your Worth And Power of the Collective
Explores which major banks are financing fossil fuel projects, impacting climate change and potentially affecting the sustainability of their investments.

Rainforest Action Network’s 'Banking on Climate Chaos' is included because its exhaustive, bank-by-bank analysis shows how the world’s largest banks have funneled trillions into fossil fuels (headline figure on the site: $7.9 trillion over nine years), documents deadly frontline impacts on Indigenous, Black and Brown communities and other vulnerable groups, and provides data tools (financing breakdowns, Oil & Gas and Coal policy trackers, and a Decarbonization Targets Tracker) that directly support the book’s Chapter 'Your Worth and the Power of the Collective' by demonstrating how individual and collective capital choices and stewardship of pensions and banking relationships send market signals and can be mobilized to push for a just, climate-aligned transition.
