Invitation to Digital Press Conference on May 18th
Two days before the leading German private bank Deutsche Bank holds its
annual general meeting, Urgewald, together with experts from Guyana and Japan, will shed light on recent fossil financing projects of the bank that contradict its commitment to the Paris Climate Accord.
Latest research by Urgewald reveals how the bank is still supporting the oil multinational Exxon Mobil with loans, underwriting services and investments. Exxon is currently leading one of the biggest drilling projects of our time off the coast of Guyana. The operation will have dramatic consequences for the country, the entire Caribbean and the global climate.
Deutsche Bank also supports other companies that expand their fossil activities, like Japanese utilities and trading houses with coal expansion projects in South East Asia. This undermines the urgent need for a rapid decline in CO2 emissions.
