How much is your bank profiting from deforestation? Our new analysis reveals how efforts to end deforestation are undermined by climate-wrecking profits of US, EU and UK financial institutions. Read the report: gwitness.org/4mWOWkQ We wrote to all the financial institutions featured in the report seeking their comment. For their responses, see the full report.

Without rules to curb deforestation finance, the #TFFF could end up insuring the same banks that profit from forest loss - letting them play both sides of the market. @GlobalWitness shows they’ve already made $26 bn from forest destruction since Paris: šŸ”—globalwitness.org/en/campaig…

šŸ—£ļø ā€œNothing short of an abject failure of our global financial system.ā€ šŸ’¬ What does it say about our financial system when a company linked to Amazon #deforestation, Indigenous land invasions, and corruption is approved to trade on the New York Stock Exchange – the biggest stock market in the world? At a time when forests are vanishing and climate commitments are more urgent than ever, global finance is still pouring billions into companies like @JBS. Why – and how are they allowed? šŸ¤” Read why JBS’s Wall Street debut matters – and what needs to change: gwitness.org/4mrsb8L

Chinese banks have poured $23B+ into forest-risk companies since 2018. They've become some of the top international lenders to the global agribusiness sector, yet mostly lack #deforestation policies to stop cash falling into the hands of deforesters: globalwitness.org/en/campaig…

Labour’s planting a ā€œnew forestā€ 🌳 but @Global_Witness just showed UK supply chains drove global forest loss over 5x the size of the new project in 2024 alone. Planting trees is great. Stopping deforestation imports too is even better, @MaryCreagh_: globalwitness.org/en/campaig…
Today we create a legacy for generations to come. The Western Forest will become the first new national forest in 30 years. #InternationalDayofForests Read more: gov.uk/government/news/gover…
