L’art de noyer le poisson par BNP Paribas bis repetita
Reclaim Finance responds to BNP Paribas' claims that the 'Banking on Climate Chaos 2023' report used a biased methodology and overestimated fossil fuel financing. The organization asserts that its methodology is transparent and consistent since 2016, arguing that the reported figures—including $5.5 billion provided to the 100 largest fossil fuel developers in 2022—are likely underestimated because they exclude bilateral financing. Reclaim Finance rejects the bank's attempt to offset these figures with renewable energy investments, noting that BNP Paribas' ratio of clean energy investment to fossil fuel investment (1.7 to 1 in 2021) falls far short of the IEA's 1.5°C scenario requirement of 9 to 1.
