Follow the Money: Fossil Banks, COP31 & Citizen Action

**What happens when the money we put in the bank helps finance the very industries driving climate change?** We often talk about reducing our carbon footprints, changing our consumption habits, and pushing governments to take stronger climate action. But there is another important piece of the puzzle that deserves more attention: the role of banks, financial institutions and corporations in financing the fossil fuel industry and perpetuating the climate crisis. Following [our gathering last December](https://www.meetup.com/es-es/lets-talk-about-climate-change/events/312256713/?eventOrigin=group_calendar), where we came together to discuss COP30 and explore the realities of international climate negotiations, we're continuing the conversation. This month, we are honoured to have Adrien joining us again, and help us focus on the financial flows behind the climate crisis. We'll explore how banks continue to finance fossil fuels, how corporate interests influence climate policy, and what citizens can do to demand greater corporate accountability and drive change. ### What will we discuss? * COP31 and the influence of fossil fuel interests * Fossil banks: Following the money * Citizen action: Choosing a responsible bank * Corporate accountability beyond banking ### About our speaker: Adrien Tofighi-Niaki Adrien Tofighi-Niaki has 15 years of experience working at the intersection of climate change, environmental justice and human rights. His research focuses on extractive industries, corporate accountability, greenwashing, land rights and financial flows. He combines investigative research, data analysis and community-based approaches to support civil society advocacy and frontline communities. His work has been featured in The Guardian, BBC, Financial Times, NPR, Mongabay and Democracy Now!, among other international media outlets. Find out more: [https://www.aniaki.work/](https://www.aniaki.work/) ### Why join us? Climate action is not only about what governments decide at international conferences. It is also about where money flows, how corporations operate, and the choices and collective pressure we can bring to bear as citizens. Our everyday financial decisions may have more influence than we realise. Understanding the connections between our banks, corporate power and the climate crisis is an important step towards taking meaningful action. Whether you're already familiar with fossil fuel financing and corporate accountability or simply curious about what your bank has to do with climate change, you're very welcome! No specialist knowledge is required. **We kindly request a donation up to 5 euros to support the running of Let's Talk About Climate Change**, a voluntary initiative. See you there!

Financial Independence: Delicious Debates

Maybe you want to save more, earn more, travel more, buy a home someday, start a side hustle, feel less stressed about spending, or simply understand what the hell is actually happening with your money. This meetup is for people who want to **feel more confident with money and have more choices in life** — without needing to be a finance expert. This is a welcoming space for those who are building their careers and financial lives and want to learn alongside other people in the same boat. This week we are going to get on teams and debate some of the hottest topics such as rent or buy, invest in value stocks or crypto, spend less or earn more, be an extreme saver or extreme investor. Each team will need to prepare their argument and see if they can convince the other team they're right! ### What to Expect **Learn** We’ll break down a different money topic each time — from spending and saving to earning more, understanding the economy, investing and the psychology behind our financial decisions. **Think** You’ll get the chance to look at your own situation, challenge some assumptions and consider what you actually want your money and your life to look like. **Do** This isn't just theory. We’ll use simple exercises, scenarios and practical tools to help turn ideas into something you can apply to your own life. **Connect** Meet other curious, ambitious people who are figuring this stuff out too. Share experiences, ideas and lessons without the pressure to have all the answers. **Take something away** Every session finishes with a few practical takeaways and an action — something small you can actually do after you leave. ### Who is it for? Anyone working and earning money and starting to think more seriously about their future — but aren't quite sure what you're doing yet financially. Location & Logistics * **Where:** Icon Hotel - In the 'Biblioteca' Area. Carrer de Roger de Llúria, 21 * **When:** Every Thursday from 7-9pm * **Cost:** 7€, paid to Icon Hotel, which includes your first drink. Please note that everyone must pay this as it allows us access to the hotel facilities. Language note: This event will be in English though all languages are welcome to join. About the organizer: My name is Andrew, I'm American working in business development and calling Barcelona home for nearly 10 years. Well on my way to financial independence, my goal is to inspire, support and connect others that are ready to take actions to build their dream lives. 👋 How to find us Go into the Icon hotel, turn right and head toward the back. On your right there is a small bar where you need to pay the 7€ and get your drink. We may be at the 'Biblioteca' or on the terrace by the swimming pool outside, so bring a jacket.

The Wealth Identity Reset

**[SIGN UP HERE!](https://www.backstorybookshop.studio/course/the-wealth-identity-reset-ec0574)** Four weeks to reset your relationship with money. This isn't about budgets, strategies, or mindset hacks - those have their place, but they're not where change begins. We start on the inside, where it matters most: on the internal conditions that shape how you relate to money. Each week builds upon the last: from Awareness to Self-Worth to Self-Trust to Wealth Identity - so insight becomes lived change, not just understanding. The series is adapted from Julie's signature program specifically for an intimate, live The Studio setting. **About Julie Shui** After two decades as a global cosmetics executive and investor, Julie now combines her leadership experience with subconscious rewiring to help women transform their relationship with money at the identity level, stepping into versions of themselves who can hold more money, more success, and more ease - without burnout or self-abandonment. She's a certified hypnotherapist and speaker, founder of The Wealth Identity Reset, and creator of The Living Room, a private membership community for women. **Event details** * **Date:** Every other Friday, Nov. 13 - Nov. 27 * **Time:** 19h – 20:30h * **Price:** €220 📍 **The Studio at Backstory, Barcelona** Carrer de Bailèn 3, 2-2

Data Science in Production: Multi-Objective ML & AI-Driven ML Lifecycles

\-\-\-\-\-\-\-PLEASE REGISTER ONLY THROUGH [THIS LINK](https://event.meetmaps.com/643121260256351105/en/registration)\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Join us for another Tech Talk at Glovo HQ 🚀** We’re opening the doors of Yellow Park on **Thursday, November 19th**, for a Data Science Tech Meetup focused on **Real-World Machine Learning at Scale**. Together with our peers from Skyscanner, we will explore how we solve some of the most complex challenges in ML, from balancing conflicting business objectives to modernizing the end-to-end ML lifecycle using AI. Here is what we have lined up for the night: * **GUAPO: Balancing Competing Interests Through ML** Our very own **Guilherme Baraúna** and **Yaroslav Marchuk** (Data Scientists @ Glovo) will share how we tackle a massive internal challenge. Many teams at Glovo want to use the app's real estate to push for different objectives: loyalty targets subscriptions, growth aims at acquisition and retention, while ads push for immediate revenue. They will dive into how the GUAPO ML engine allows different stakeholders to compete for limited traffic using data-driven decisions, optimizing these tradeoffs in a unified way. * **Is AI Really Changing the ML Lifecycle? A Skyscanner Snapshot** We’re thrilled to welcome **Carles Riera** (Data Scientist @ Skyscanner) as our external speaker! Carles will break down how Skyscanner's data science teams are currently using AI agents across the ML project lifecycle from ideation and scoping all the way to production and monitoring. He’ll cover the frameworks they use, real use cases in data analysis, model development, A/B testing, documentation, and also touch upon the areas where things haven’t actually changed that much yet. **🎤 AGENDA:** * **18:30 – 18:35** \| Welcome & Glovo Presentation \(5 min\) * **18:35 – 18:55** \| *GUAPO - Balancing competing interests through ML* (Guilherme Baraúna & Yaroslav Marchuk) + 10 min Q&A * **19:05 – 19:25** \| *Is AI Really Changing the ML Lifecycle?
