🔎This investigation is building on 17 years of research and analysis, this year’s report continues to expose the world’s biggest banks and financial centers fueling climate chaos, and equips movements with the facts needed to drive urgent change.

⏰ Since the Paris Agreeement (2015), top banks financed almost
$9 trillion in oil, gas and coal operations: an unfathomable amount of money that would have made our global energy system more affordable, more resilient, more secure, and more climate-proof today.

📈 Only in 2025, the world’s 65 largest banks committed $906 billion (+8% from 2024) to fossil fuel companies. Financing for companies actively expanding fossil fuels surged 27% to $508 billion in 2025.

💰The "Dirty Dozen" banks now provide more than a third of global bank fossil fuel finance and are concentrating this financing in fewer, more leveraged fossil fuel borrowers.

is underway, but civil society participation is being constrained through reduced press access and persistent barriers to attendance, particularly for representatives from the Global South.

When these spaces shrink, it is not only NGOs that are excluded. Transparency, accountability, and diverse voices are also diminished.

This is a vital window to monitor the technical negotiations and work programmes implemented that shape future climate decisions.

The participation of civil society must remain at the heart of the UN climate process.

UN climate conference kicks off in Bonn - but not everybody is invited Climate activists and members of the press are facing unprecedented barriers to one of the most important environmental conferences of the year.

"The world must treat it as the urgent warning it is"
" The time for preparedness, early warning systems, and rapid climate action is now."

These warnings from UN Secretary-General António Guterres highlight the seriousness of the moment.

The WMO estimates an 80% chance that El Niño will emerge between June and August 2026 and a 90% chance that it will persist through November. Forecasts indicate it could become a moderate to strong event.

Climate change does not cause El Niño, but it intensifies its effects, turning heatwaves, droughts, and floods into increasingly destructive disasters.

This report warns that 2026–2035 is likely to be the most critical decade ever recorded for climate extremes and record-breaking impacts:

• It is very likely that global mean near-surface temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above the 1850–1900 average for at least one year between 2026 and 2030.

• Predictions indicate that annual global near-surface temperatures will range between 1.3°C and 1.9°C above pre-industrial levels.

Today in Santa Marta, the climate multitude has moved from theory to actions. The day began early this morning with a direct action led by Colombian and international activists, who blocked the port operated by Drummond Company, one of the multinational’s key hubs for coal exports since the 1980s. ù

By the afternoon, the focus shifted to collective mobilisation, as more than 2,000 people took to the streets in a March for a Fossil Free Future. Moving through the city with music, dance, and vibrant colours, participants transformed Santa Marta into a living expression of the ideas and demands developed during the previous days of workshops, bringing them out of meeting spaces and into the public sphere. The event served to raise awareness of and support the Assembly of the People, a closed institutional forum in which the Colombian government received 250 representatives from seven sectors of civil society

In the spirit of promoting dialogue between the academic world, society and policy makers the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on Just Fossil Fuel Transition today met initiatives of society, indigenous groups, scientific community, trade unions and representatives of parliaments all together committed to a just fossil fuel transition.

Closed yesterday the Academic Pre- Conference, it is time of the People’s Summit. Solidarity, Articulation, Territories and Communities, these have been the guiding threads running through the many spaces and encounters in Santa Marta over the past days. Yet if one word defines this third day, it is “convergence.”

With the People’s Summit for a Fossil Free Future reaching its culmination, following two days of regional and sectoral meetings, the People’s Declaration for a Rapid, Equitable, and just transtion for a Fossil-Free Future was finally presented. This outcome is the result of a process that began months ago.

A series of events and discussions then unfolded throughout the day, leading to the central plenary session, where the People’s Declaration was presented and collectively adopted. This moment captured the spirit of a broad and diverse climate movement, advancing along inclusive, plural, anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist pathways, and grounded in a bottom-up process of collective construction.

With this milestone reached, the atmosphere has shifted from deliberation to celebration and mobilisation. The streets in the night become the space of expression, with music and dance marking this historic moment at the “Baile en la Calle” event.
