Urge Citigroup to exit Amazon oil

Did you know that Citigroup has funneled over $40 billion USD into oil and gas companies in the Amazon? With the Amazon rainforest at the tipping point of ecological collapse, Citi needs to adopt an Amazon exclusion policy as it did with the Arctic.

Citi is in the headlines for its involvement in environmental destruction. We’re using this opportunity to make an uproar and drive up pressure on Citi to prioritize the Amazon by committing to exit Amazon oil.

When Citi’s leadership takes center stage at the AGM, we must make sure they hear our message: Stop financing the Amazon’s destruction. And you can help deliver this message straight to the desk of its CEO Jane Fraser.

Will you send a personal message to Citi’s CEO Jane Fraser and call on Citi to stop financing fossil fuel extraction in the Amazon?

Dear {contact_data~positionHeld} {contact_data~firstName},

I have learned from Stand.earth and Amazon Watch’s recent report that your bank has funneled over $40 billion USD into oil and gas companies in the Amazon. This is especially concerning since the Amazon rainforest is at the tipping point of an ecological collapse. Banking on the destruction of this vital landscape during a time of climate crisis is unacceptable.

As the U.S. bank that has provided the most funding to PetroEcuador, Citi is playing a pivotal role in putting 7+ million acres of roadless rainforest and Indigenous territory at risk - as Ecuador plans to double oil production.

Citi’s historic funding has enabled the growth of the oil sector in Ecuador and your bank hasn’t made any commitments that it won’t fund expanded oil drilling in Ecuador or the broader Amazon basin.

The Amazon is the last place on the planet that should be drilled for oil. Just as Citigroup has an Arctic exclusion policy, I hope that your bank will adopt an Amazon exclusion policy. And as the Ecuadorian region of Amazon is facing imminent expansion of oil drilling, I hope that you will take urgent action and be a champion for the Amazon. This is the time to be a climate leader.

I look forward to seeing a commitment from Citigroup to stop banking on the destruction of the Amazon.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
