<P>Hello,</P>
<P>We hope you and your loved ones are staying safe. With so much
happening in the world from extreme heat waves to severe flooding, how can
we not talk about climate change? </P>
<P>The need to start a global movement to fight the climate crisis is
something that we needed to start yesterday. Activists around the world
cannot scream louder for governments, and financial institutions to stop
funding fossil fuels.</P>
<P>The impacts of climate change are heartbreaking and this edition is a
gentle reminder of the fight against the climate crisis. The wheel does
not stop, and the movement must continue as we stand up to the fossil fuel
industry to build a clean energy future for all.</P>
<P>We want to take this time to reassure you of the consistency of this
newsletter. We understand that we may have missed a month but rest
assured, it will be popping into your inboxes on a monthly basis.</P>
<P>In solidarity,</P>
<P>Christine</P>

<P>The controversial KXL pipeline project has been terminated. This big
win comes after five months of President Biden issuing an executive order
revoking the presidential permit for KXL.</P>
<P>However, the fight must continue. The Line 3 project must also be
terminated. Activists and environmental groups are still taking it to the
streets and protesting against the project. We know that the continuation
of this pipeline will bring about environmental threats and could possibly
worsen global climate change. </P>

to tackle climate finance whilst still funding the Matarbari coal plant in
Bangladesh.</P>
