Summary
The statement asserts that the expansion of LNG terminals and tankers threatens marine ecosystems and biodiversity globally, specifically mentioning Latin America and Southeast Asia. It claims that banks continue to fund LNG terminal developers despite their climate commitments, thereby increasing host countries' dependence on fossil fuels. The author demands that banks cease all new financial services to these developers to align with their public promises.
Key insights
- The expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals and tankers is exacerbating threats to oceans and their ecosystems, particularly in Latin America and Southeast Asia.
- Banks are continuing to support LNG terminal developers despite having made climate commitments, which reinforces the dependence of host nations on fossil fuels and harms global biodiversity.
- To remain consistent with their promises, banks are urged to stop providing any new financial services to companies that develop LNG terminals.
