As Amazon Watch reports, investments of $46bn were spent by the world's three largest asset management firms on Amazon oil companies that are linked to Indigenous rights abuses, environmental pollution and climate warming. Investments in drilling for crude oil in the rainforest - or investments in drilling in general - must be penalized. There has to be an immediate switch from all fossil to renewable energy resources.

Although the G7 countries make a lot of green promises, the countries (UK, US, Canada, Italy, France, Germany and Japan) actually spent more money on fossil fuels than on green technology ($189bn vs. $147bn) between January 2020 and March 2021, as an article by The Guardian outlines. The Covid-19 response was teased for supporting a more sustainable economy, but actually just 1 in 10 dollars were spent on renewables and energy efficiency measures. It must be clear that it's time for the 'Dirty 7' to become the 'Green 7'. You can help reaching that goal by donating to WCRE or becoming a member.
