<P>Hello,</P>
<P>We hope you and your loved ones are staying safe. </P>
<P>As I write this, devastating climate impacts are happening all around
the world, not only are we seeing it on the news or physically
experiencing it, but it is drastically impacting human lives. It can feel
overwhelming at times to take it all in....</P>
<P>But we can’t despair, the global movement is growing and we are working
together to hold governments accountable, stop funding fossil fuel
projects and transition away from gas, oil and coal, immediately.</P>
<P>We hope you will join us in this movement. It’s very simple to do, with
very easy steps to follow and you have options - so join us. Here is how
you can <SPAN style="COLOR: #3366ff"><A style="COLOR: #3366ff"

<P>The anticipated Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report
was just released, and 195 scientists confirmed that human activities have
contributed to the climate crisis. This report comes out as we see the
devastating climate impacts unfolding around the world.</P>
<P>But, as alarming as the report may be, we want to focus on the good.
The fact is we know who is responsible for the climate crisis: fossil fuel
corporations. And we know how we can stop them: by cutting off the money
that funds these projects and channeling people power to demand an
immediate transition away from fossil fuels.</P>
<P>So here’s what you can do to keep fighting, check out the links below

<P>BNI is one of the country’s state owned banks and is the third largest
