Churches turn to law against fossil fuel financiers
Original: Hope for children: churches turn to the law to hold fossil fuel financiers accountable
The World Council of Churches says it is pursuing legal avenues to hold banks and other financiers of fossil fuels accountable, framing the effort as a matter of protecting children's futures from climate change. The faith-based climate litigation push targets the institutions funding coal, oil and gas projects rather than the companies themselves.
Why now: Faith groups increasingly using litigation against climate funders is a notable development in the broader climate accountability debate
