NATIONAL TRUST ‘BETTER WITHOUT BARCLAYS’. Since the 2015 Paris climate agreement Barclays bank has financed fossil fuel companies by £137 billion. They are Europe’s largest bankroller of climate changing fossil fuel emissions. Christian members of the Trust have tabled a resolution for the National Trust AGM on 5 November calling for a change of bank if Barclays fail to stop subsidising energy and power companies that get more than 10% turnover from fossil fuels.
NT members are being balloted this autumn, votes for the resolution can be cast online or post by 5th of November via the Autumn Magazine. For more info. and wording of resolution. Go to greenchristian.org.uk/the-national-trust-better…/
The resolution draws on our Christian understanding of redemption and of Care for Creation. If any Parishioner is a member, please use your vote to make a difference. Note the Justice & Peace Group are affiliated to Green Christians
