去年世界60家最大银行为化石燃料融资7420亿美元

颗粒在线讯：据美国油价网2022年3月31日报道，环保组织本周发布的一份最新报告显示，仅在2021年，全球最大的60家银行就在化石燃料融资方面投入了多达7420亿美元。  

根据来自国际石油变化组织、热带雨林行动网络、银行追踪、土著环境网络、回收金融、塞拉俱乐部和厄吉华德组织的年度气候混乱银行报告，自2015年《巴黎协定》通过以来，全球最大的商业和投资银行累计向化石燃料提供了4.6万亿美元的资金。

过去几年，银行面临越来越大的压力和审查，要求它们停止为化石燃料提供资金。  

这份最新报告的作者说，摩根大通“仍然是世界上气候混乱最糟糕的资方，摩根大通银行、富国银行、瑞穗银行、三菱日联金融集团和所有5家加拿大银行都在2020年至2021年期间增加了化石能源融资。”

总体而言，化石燃料融资仍由4家美国银行主导，摩根大通银行、花旗银行、富国银行和美国银行共占过去6年化石燃料融资总额的四分之一。

去年，水力压裂获得了621亿美元的融资，并被北美银行主导，其中富国银行位居榜首，为Diamondback能源公司等生产商和金德摩根公司等管道公司提供资金。

环保组织今年早些时候的一份报告发现，仅在煤炭融资方面，2019年1月至去年11月期间，全球商业银行向煤炭行业注入了令人瞠目结舌的1.5万亿美元。

本周的《气候混乱银行业报告》显示，花旗银行和摩根大通银行在2021年为海上油气提供的融资最多。 报告指出，大型银行去年总共向海上油气项目融资529亿美元。

雨林行动网络研究和政策经理艾莉森·基尔希在评论这分报告时说，“在华尔街银行的带领下，这些金融机构直接参与破坏我们所有人的气候稳定未来，必须立即停止对任何进一步的化石燃料基础设施扩建的支持。”

World’s Top Banks Financed Fossil Fuels With $742 Billion In 2021

The 60 largest banks in the world poured as much as $742 billion in fossil fuel financing in 2021 alone, a new report by environmental groups showed this week.

Since the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015, the world’s largest commercial and investment banks have financed fossil fuels with a cumulative $4.6 trillion, according to the annual Banking on Climate Chaos report from Oil Change International, Rainforest Action Network, BankTrack, Indigenous Environmental Network, Reclaim Finance, Sierra Club, and Urgewald.

Banks have come under increased pressure and scrutiny over the past years to stop funding fossil fuels.

JPMorgan Chase “remains the world’s worst funder of climate chaos, with JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Mizuho, MUFG, and all 5 Canadian banks among those that increased their fossil financing from 2020 to 2021,” the authors of the report said.

Overall, fossil fuel financing remained dominated by four U.S. banks, as JPMorgan Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America together accounted for one-quarter of all fossil fuel financing over the last six years.

Fracking received $62.1 billion in financing last year, and was dominated by North American banks with Wells Fargo at the top, funding producers like Diamondback Energy and pipeline companies like Kinder Morgan.

In coal financing alone, between January 2019 and November of last year, commercial banks globally funneled a jaw-dropping $1.5 trillion into the coal industry, a previous report by environmental organizations found earlier this year.

This week’s ‘Banking on Climate Chaos’ report showed that Citi and JPMorgan Chase provided the most financing for offshore oil and gas in 2021. In total, big banks channeled $52.9 billion into offshore oil and gas financing last year, the report noted.

“With Wall Street banks leading the charge, these financial institutions are directly complicit in undermining a climate stable future for us all and must immediately end their support of any further fossil fuel infrastructure expansion,” Alison Kirsch, Research and Policy Manager at Rainforest Action Network, said, commenting on the report.
