Follow the Money: Fossil Banks, COP31 & Citizen Action

Follow the Money: Fossil Banks, COP31 & Citizen Action

Wed, Nov 18, 6:30 PM
From Let's talk about climate change
4.8

**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!

TEATRO: El loco, de Khalil Gibran

TEATRO: El loco, de Khalil Gibran

Sat, Nov 14, 7:00 PM
From Charlas de Filosofía Barcelona
4.7

Un viaje teatral entre la poesía y la filosofía para descubrir qué sucede cuando nos atrevemos a vivir sin máscaras. Y si perder nuestras máscaras fuera el primer paso para descubrir quiénes somos? Te invitamos a descubrir esta interpretación teatral de **El loco, de Khalil Gibran: una obra que desafía lo que entendemos por locura y cordura y nos invita a mirar la vida desde otra perspectiva.** A través del lenguaje del teatro, las palabras de Gibran cobran vida y nos acercan a preguntas universales: ¿quiénes somos más allá de lo que los demás esperan de nosotros? ¿Qué significa ser libres? ¿Nos atrevemos a mostrar lo que somos? Una experiencia para emocionarte, despertar tu curiosidad y dejar que la poesía y la filosofía dialoguen contigo. Porque, a veces, la mirada de un «loco» puede revelar aquello que los demás no alcanzamos a ver. No necesitas conocer la obra: solo venir con ganas de disfrutar del teatro y dejarte sorprender. 🎟️ Actividad gratuita. ⚠️ Sé responsable con tu inscripción. Si no puedes asistir, por favor, cancela tu plaza para dar lugar a otra persona.
