Hope for Children Through Climate Justice

Legal Tools to Hold Financiers Accountable

The urgency of the climate catastrophe demands strong and effective responses. With fossil fuels accounting for over 90% of global CO2 emissions, we must hold accountable those who continue to finance their expansion, harming us and future generations. 

Developed by the Churches’ Commitments to Children programme of the World Council of Churches (WCC), this publication empowers people of faith and partners in the WCC’s global constituency with the knowledge necessary for legal action. It provides a menu of strategies, particularly aimed at financial institutions, one of the most powerful levers to accelerate climate solutions. It is a call to answer the pleas of the scientific community and young people to tackle the root causes of harm to creation and protect future generations’ right to life.
