<P><STRONG>5 000 billion euros, no environmental string
attached</STRONG>. The European Central Bank (ECB) is pumping a good
chunk of this baffling sum into big polluters, like Shell and
Total.</P>
<P><STRONG>But, one person could change everything</STRONG>:
François Villeroy de Galhau, the governor of the French central
bank. He's on the board of the European Central Bank and claims he
wants to <STRONG>make it a “pioneer in the fight against climate
change”</STRONG>.</P>
<P>Yet, this laudable ambition seems to be nothing but lip service:
<STRONG>the governor plans on waiting another "3 to 5 years" to turn
his words into action!</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>Our planet can’t wait that long.</STRONG> Let's drive M.
Villeroy de Galhau to put his foot down:</P>
<P><A style="COLOR: #00abbd; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"
href="https://act.sumofus.org/go/561372?t=1&akid=84971%2E15424008%2ETrU6v3">Mr
Governor, do not wait 5 years to act: push the ECB to immediately
stop supporting companies destroying the environment!</A></P>
<P>Two months ago, SumOfUs members like you called on governor
Villeroy de Galhau to stop investing in coal, shale oil and gas.
<STRONG>He listened to us and recently adopted new drastic exclusion
measures!</STRONG></P>
<P>While the French central bank recognizes the need to act without
delay in France, <STRONG>it digs its heels in at the European
level</STRONG>.</P>
<P><STRONG>This is totally inconsistent</STRONG>. Instead of using
his influence at the ECB, the governor decides to… <STRONG>do
literally nothing</STRONG>.</P>
<P>Together, we can push him into action once again.</P>
<P>Mr Governor, the Covid crisis is striking Europeans hard, and
<STRONG>they refuse to also pay the price for big polluters. Don’t
make them go through two crises at once</STRONG>:</P>
<P><A style="COLOR: #00abbd; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"
href="https://act.sumofus.org/go/561372?t=2&akid=84971%2E15424008%2ETrU6v3">Ask
the ECB to ban polluters once for all!</A></P>
<P>More <STRONG>than 167 000 Europeans already called on the ECB to
stop funding climate chaos</STRONG>. The French central bank has a
unique opportunity to support your demands and uphold hopes of a
fairer and more sustainable future.</P>
<P><STRONG>Call on the French central bank to put its words into
actions</STRONG>. European monetary policy should support the fight
against the climate crisis and for social progress, not stand by a
system based on carbon emissions and inequalities. </P>
