### [It’s time to put your money where your mouth is](https://blog.tminus30.ai/turns-take/its-time-to-put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is)

#### **Anna Turns investigates why the finance sector urgently needs to change to help mitigate the climate crisis**

In the five years since the Paris Agreement was adopted, the world’s 60 biggest banks have financed fossil fuel extraction with $3.8 trillion, according to [this Rainforest Action Network’s report](https://www.ran.org/bankingonclimatechaos2021/). So when I asked to see my high street bank’s investment policy a few years ago, I knew that, like most retail banks, they invested in fossils fuels, arms and tobacco. The incredibly cagey response I received triggered me to switch banks immediately and this really is one of the best things anyone can do to drive positive environmental change, whether you’re a self-employed citizen or a high-net-worth CEO. By moving to Triodos, a bank that only makes climate-friendly, ethical investments (yes, it was quick and hassle-free), I’ve ensured that my money won’t fuel dirty business.
