Tell the Bank of America to adopt an Amazon-specific policy

Bank of America finances many of the oil and gas companies wreaking havoc on the Amazon rainforest, including Canada-based Gran Tierra who has violated Indigenous Peoples rights multiple times and caused an oil spill at their drill site in Colombia.

Even notorious JP Morgan has an Amazon policy now, historically the worst financier of Amazon oil and gas. While it’s not the best policy, it's an important step forward in a time when banks are backtracking on climate commitments. That’s why we’re asking Bank of America to follow suit and develop an Amazon policy and plan for a total exit from Amazon oil and gas by 2030.

Send a letter to the staff of Bank of America calling on them to adopt an Amazon-specific policy and phase out all financing for oil and gas projects.

Dear {user_data~First Name} {contact_data~lastName},

Since 2016, it’s estimated that the Bank of America has invested $1.486 billion in direct Amazon oil and gas. You have contributed to the leveling of forests, the wreckage of biodiversity and nature, and the devastation and inconceivable harmful impact of Indigenous Peoples and local communities.

Your institution has been identified as a “Laggard” in the latest Banks vs. the Amazon Scorecard by Stand.earth. That’s why I am urging you to phase out all corporate financing and advisory services for oil and gas projects and companies with substantial oil and gas operations in the Amazon, and then plan for a total exit from Amazon oil and gas by 2030.

As the Amazon nears ecological tipping points, the time for half-measures is over.

As global financial leaders, your banks have the opportunity and the responsibility to be on the right side of history. It’s time you catch up to your peers that already have an Amazon policy in place. Taking bold, concrete action now will not only protect the Amazon, but demonstrate true leadership in an era where climate accountability is non-negotiable.

Sincerely,

{user_data~First Name} {user_data~Last Name}

I confirm I have reviewed this message and approve it
