Historic moment: Coal power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, the first simultaneous drop in half a century, after each nation added record amounts of clean energy. @carbonbrief.org #climate

ICYMI 🚨 Emergency leaders and @climatecouncil.org.au are warning that the outskirts of Australian cities including Sydney and Melbourne are increasingly vulnerable to the same risk of firestorms that LA was hit by in 2025. #climate #auspol

What's something you can do for the planet that's 21x more effective than giving up flying, going vego and switching energy providers? The answer: Use your #superannuation for #climate action.

From #climate progress at two major banks, to Mitsubishi pulling out of LNG projects in Bangladesh — it’s been a big year for shifting finance out of the fossil fuel industry. Here are just a few of our favourite highlights, all made possible with your support. 💚

Companies around the world are meant to follow the same International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). But in reality there is wide variation in the quality of information disclosed in different jurisdictions.

It's time for #ANZ to do what is in the best interests of Australian families and businesses, and stop offering finance to companies expanding fossil fuels – driving more severe bushfires and devastating floods. Take action ✅ www.marketforces.org.au/campaigns/ba... #auspol #climate #banks

Westpac is funding #climate collapse – but it doesn't have to. Join Australian healthcare workers and tell #Westpac to stop funding fossil fuel expansion today: www.marketforces.org.au/campaigns/ba...

Big four bank #Westpac has “dramatically watered down” its #climate transition plan requirements for fossil fuel clients – and insists it “can’t do much more”. But the large strides made by both #CommBank and #NAB prove that's simply not true.

Emergency leaders and over 100 shareholders have joined us to send a clear warning to #Westpac that it must stop financing the coal, oil and gas companies putting Australians at risk. Today we're at Westpac's AGM challenging the bank for watering down its #climate policy.

Four of the world’s top investors, with a combined $1 trillion under management, have backed a Market Forces resolution calling for Australian bank #Westpac to make clear how its fossil fuel finance aligns with its own #climate commitments.

MEDIA RELEASE: Emergency Leaders, major global investors and shareholders warn Westpac has a duty to meet its #climate commitments by ending finance for companies expanding coal, oil and gas, fuelling deadly bushfires, floods and heatwaves. Westpac is risking a safe future and stable economy.

Thanks to your support, we’re ruining Westpac’s day. 😉 We’ve scored homepage ads on @australia.theguardian.com – with millions of readers – calling out #Westpac for breaching its updated #climate policy after only just one month, with a major deal to oil and gas company Santos.

＜共同プレスリリース＞パプアニューギニア、オーストラリア、日本、ヨーロッパの6団体が、パプアLNGガスプロジェクトにおける三菱UFJ銀行（MUFG）の関与について、世界初のエクエーター原則に基づく異議申立てを行いました。 #papuaLNG #mufg #japan #climate #humanrights

BREAKING: Six organisations from Papua New Guinea, Australia, Japan and Europe have filed the first-ever Equator Principles complaint against #MUFG over #PapuaLNG – a gas project that could affect 12,700+ Indigenous people and threaten ~100 species. #climate #biodiversity #humanrights

Despite introducing new fossil fuel lending restrictions in October, we’ve discovered Westpac has just arranged a $1.54 billion bond for Santos – one of Australia’s most notorious and polluting gas companies 😠

It’s time super funds lived up to their commitments by ending fossil fuel expansion and securing a stable retirement for us all! Check out our latest report and take action at marketforces.org.au/ffx200 www.superreview.com.au/super-funds-...

Our new report reveals Australia's top 30 super funds have more than AU$33 billion invested in a list of 200 companies with the biggest coal, oil and gas expansion plans around the world. #climate #auspol “Worth reading” as ABC says: marketforces.org.au/FFX200

Japan is pushing devastating coal and gas expansion in #Bangladesh – where thousands of vulnerable people have lost land and livelihoods because of it. We were proud to work with artists Noor Alam and Suman Kanti Paul, to share these stories from Bangladesh with people in Tokyo.

Our new report reveals Australian super funds could have over $130 billion invested in the world's biggest coal, oil and gas companies. #climate #auspol That's your retirement savings being used to support fossil fuels – instead of protecting your future. Take action: marketforces.org.au/FFX200

Australia's top super funds have over $33bn invested in the world's biggest fossil fuel expanders, the FFX 200. Yet over 7 years, the FFX 200 has underperformed all indices while the Bloomberg Goldman Sachs Global Clean Energy Index more than doubled FFX 200 returns. marketforces.org.au/FFX200

Top super funds hold $33bn in big fossil fuel companies, new Market Forces analysis finds | @australia.theguardian.com #auspol #superannuation #climate

Super funds plunge billions into fossil fuel companies | @dailymailau.bsky.social "The damage these companies could do to our #climate by charging ahead with new coal and gas projects would have significant ramifications for Australians' retirement savings." – Brett Morgan, Market Forces #auspol

NEW REPORT: Market Forces has identified 200 companies with the biggest coal, oil and gas expansion plans globally — aka the Fossil Fuel Expansion Index, or FFX 200. These companies are actively driving more extreme #climate disasters. And your super fund probably invests in them.

MEDIA RELEASE: Australia’s top 30 super funds have over $33 billion invested in companies expanding fossil fuels globally, in default or largest options, on latest disclosures. And funds have 3 x more invested in fossil fuel companies than clean energy. #Climate #Renewables #CleanEnergy Read More

NYC pension funds could set a global precedent by ditching BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, on climate grounds. Meanwhile in Australia, our largest super fund #AustralianSuper has thrown its support behind the fossil fuel expansion plans of climate wreckers like Woodside & Whitehaven 😡

Letter to the editor @newcastleherald.bsky.social: "An easy way for banks to reduce their climate impact would be phasing out such lending" — hit the nail on the head, Anne. Check your bank: www.marketforces.org.au/comparebanks #auspol #climate

As Liberal members squabble after formally rejecting the scientific and economic imperative to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions, a division is also starting to open up among the nation’s largest banks. #auspol #banks #climate

“Fuelling the war machine”: Australia's four largest super funds #AustralianSuper, #AustralianRetirementTrust, #AwareSuper and #UniSuper are investing $110m of Australians’ retirement savings in a refiner using #Russian oil. “Funds must investigate and act.” – Brett Morgan, Market Forces

Astounding: ANZ bank says it is "very proud" of it's lending to fossil fuels. “ANZ has consistently been the top financier of fossil fuels, a #climate laggard that has refused to really make meaningful progress on its commitment to the Paris Agreement,”- our Head of Research, Kyle Robertson.

Two of Australia's big banks @Westpac and @ANZ_AU are failing on their #climate commitments while @CommBank and @NAB are slashing support for fossil fuel expansion. "It's farcical that Westpac determined 90% of its fossil fuel customers have credible transition plans." www.afr.com/companies/fi...

ANZ and Westpac say one thing on #climate, but do another – funding a new wave of fossil fuel expansion despite their own climate plans and policies. Market Forces chief executive Will van de Pol spoke to the ABC about our latest research. Watch here 📹 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11... #auspol

Our new report reveals Australia's big four banks have provided over $43 billion to the world's biggest fossil fuel companies in the last 10 years – but some banks are starting to do better, while #ANZ and #Westpac lag behind. 🔁 Share and take #climate action www.marketforces.org.au/campaigns/ba...

New Market Forces report finds over 80% of all lending from the big four banks to the world’s biggest fossil fuel companies was provided by #Westpac and #ANZ – while competitors CommBank and NAB have dramatically wound back funding for big polluters. #climate #auspol #netzero #banks

“Little more than window dressing and greenwashing” – #ANZ and #Westpac are lagging behind on #climate, providing 80% of big four bank lending to fossil fuels since 2024.

Some big banks are having trouble working out which fossil fuel companies they shouldn’t fund any more. So we’ve made it easy for them, with the first ever Fossil Fuel Company Blocklist for Australian banks – a list of 23 clients Australia’s big four banks can no longer touch. #climate #auspol

MEDIA RELEASE: Big four banks fund major fossil fuel firms $43 billion in 10 years Our new Fossil Fuel Blocklist reveals 23 coal, oil and gas companies that must be excluded from further finance following new bank policies addressing #climate emissions. www.marketforces.org.au/big-four-ban...

ANZ claims it’s committed to a #CleanEnergy economy but is Australia’s biggest funder of fossil fuel expansion. “ANZ knows most of the largest coal, oil and gas companies it finances have no intention of transitioning their businesses to #NetZero, and is funnelling billions to them anyway.”

Making a difference with your money is easy – and it doesn't have to cost a cent. “Major Australian banks and super funds are responding to growing public appetite by slashing funding for fossil fuels, and pressuring coal and gas companies.” #climate

$100 billion super fund HESTA has been fined for misleading advertising about its carbon emissions investment. HESTA is greenwashing by failing to use its position as a shareholder to demand an end to Santos and Woodside's dangerous oil and gas expansion. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/910636...

Big four bank NAB has slashed its exposure to oil and gas producers by over 40% in the last two years. #auspol #banks #climate

A secret report – which the WA government itself commissioned – has challenged gas industry and government claims that WA gas will help the world shift from fossil fuels to clean energy. It's almost like the gas industry has a vested interest. #climate #auspol

“Farcical”: #Westpac says 90% of its fossil fuel clients have credible transition plans, despite expansion projects “Westpac can’t take part in any more deals for companies like Santos, Woodside, BP and BHP while claiming to be committed to global #climate goals." – Kyle Robertson, Market Forces

It doesn't have to be a dream, JERA – you could be the hero for Japan's energy future. 97% of JERA's current energy generation is fossil fuel-based. It's time for Japan's largest power company to be the energy leader Asia needs and deserves. #SIEW2025 #EnergyTransition
