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!

Ciencia y filosofía, un diálogo que transforma el conocimiento

Repasaremos el papel que tienen y, con algunos ejemplos de la historia, explicaremos la relación entre ambas, sus consecuencias, y sus retos ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre ciencia y filosofía? Ambas buscan el conocimiento por caminos diferentes. ¿Hasta qué punto la ciencia y la filosofía se necesitan una a la otra? ¿Cuál ha sido su relación a lo largo de la historia? En esta charla, enmarcada en el ciclo Ciencia y Filosofía, repasaremos el papel que tienen y, con algunos ejemplos de la historia, explicaremos la relación entre ambas, sus consecuencias, y sus retos en la actualidad. ¡Te esperamos! 🎟️ Actividad gratuita. ⚠️ Sé responsable con tu inscripción.

COP31 Outcomes and Leading Impact in times of uncertainty

Our social impact Meetup is back! At a time when securing and sustaining funding has become more challenging for many organizations in the impact space, we are coming together to reflect on the outcomes of COP31, share resilient leadership experiences and practices, learn from one another, and connect Welcome and Introduction by Devex (5 min) - Alex Cabaret Mini-Briefing: Key Outcomes from COP31 (10 min) - Lluis Vilardell Talk and Practice: Resilient Leadership - Navigating Uncertainty and Sustaining Impact (30-35 min) - Lauren Sorkin Networking Drinks (60 min) The Talk When funding shifts suddenly, it is not plans or organizations that feel the impact first, but the people who sustain them. Lauren Sorkin led the Asian Development Bank’s first climate investment strategy and served as Executive Director of the Resilient Cities Network, expanding it to more than 100 cities worldwide. Having navigated significant professional and personal challenges, she will share what she learned leading international organizations through periods of uncertainty and changing funding landscapes, and how those experiences gave rise to Embodied Leadership, the foundation of her work today. Following her reflections on resilient leadership, Lauren will guide the group through a gentle movement and breathing practice. Through simple techniques for regulating stress and focusing attention, participants will explore how the way we breathe and respond under pressure shapes the way we lead. The exercises are done in pairs and small groups, creating an informal and supportive environment for people to connect on both a personal and professional level, beyond titles and institutions. It is a natural way to break the ice, build trust, and strengthen community, especially for groups that are beginning to work together or looking to deepen existing relationships. No prior experience or special clothing is required, just a willingness to move, breathe, and connect.

TEATRO: El loco, de Khalil Gibran

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.

The “leaderless revolution” in Serbia & what we can learn from it ✊

**MORE SPOTS AVAILABLE ON [LUMA](https://luma.com/uvy1jh4q)!** PLEASE SIGN UP VIA LUMA IF THERE ARE NO MORE SPOTS ON MEETUP💚 **What to expect** 🏡💚 ​Serbia’s student movement and recent elections are all over the news right now. Join us for this discussion with Aleksandar Matković to find out not just how this movement started and spread throughout society, but also on what is not shown by Western media. ​Serbia’s students rose up. What can we learn from them? How did a student protest turn into a national uprising? How did the Serbians mobilise a national movement across the political spectrum? And how might this transfer into a different kind of governing practice? ​Join us in a lively discussion about the current wave of mobilisation and protests throughout the world and what we can learn from Serbia’s case to stop fascism and corruption, not just in politics but also in society. ​Bring your questions or just come to listen and get inspired on how to mobilise against all odds! ​[Aleksandar Matković ](https://www.theguardian.com/profile/aleksandar-matkovic?utm_source=luma)is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology in Barcelona and a fellow at the Transnational Institute in Amsterdam. He works on environmental history, political economy and the history of Yugoslavia. ​ 🗣️ This event will be held in **English**. **About this community** 📣💚 ​**For rights, against wrongs.** We clamour for universal human and environmental rights — and a peaceful, sustainable future for all! ​CLAMOUR is a growing community of people who feel that the current system isn’t working and who want to imagine, discuss, and build something better together. ​In a world shaped by rising fascism, climate collapse, and growing inequality, many of us feel overwhelmed or powerless. CLAMOUR exists to create space for something different. A space to come together, to learn, listen, share, and reflect. We believe that change starts from the roots — and that community itself is a form of resistance from which change can arise. ✊ ​Our community spans generations and backgrounds. Our youngest member is 18, our oldest is 93. We come from many nationalities and cultures, and from a wide range of professional paths including students, journalists, teachers, architects, activists, entrepreneurs, and retirees. This diversity is at the heart of CLAMOUR. ​We welcome anyone who feels concerned, curious, exhausted, hopeful — or simply wants to connect with others who care about a more just and sustainable future. You don’t need to have answers. You just need to show up as you are. ​Join us in making noise. **📣** **Join us in creating CLAMOUR! ☮️**💚 ​​Subscribe to our [Luma calendar](https://luma.com/clamour) to stay up to date on all events.

[NEW DATE] Climate Action Book Club: End Times Fascism

[Apologies, but our host, Backstory Bookshop, had a last-minute conflict and needed us to change the date.] The climate emergency will not be solved by reading books. But by coming together to read, to educate ourselves, to share what we learn with friends and family, and to take action in our corner of the world we can be a small part of the wave of change humanity desperately needs. Sound like something you want to be a part of? We’d love to have you. Join the Climate Action Book Club this month to read End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World, by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor. This event is free, but please get your copy from the wonderful English bookstore that hosts our book club meetings, Backstory. To cover Meetup fees, we also request a €2 donation. You are welcome (even encouraged) to join us even if you haven't read the book but want to hear and join the discussion about it. Feel free to bring a friend, too. Hope to see you!

CHARLA: ELECCIONES 29N Y SISTEMA POLÍTICO ESPAÑOL: MANUAL DE INSTRUCCIONES

Hola a tod@s! Se acercan las elecciones y con esta charla os propongo un recorrido divulgativo para conocer mejor el funcionamiento de nuestro sistema político y electoral. Una oportunidad para conocer mejor cómo funciona el sistema político en España, interpretar la actualidad con más herramientas y reflexionar sobre la importancia de las instituciones, la representación política y la participación ciudadana. Partiremos del modelo político español para explicar la separación de poderes —legislativo, ejecutivo y judicial—, la composición y las funciones del Congreso y el Senado, el procedimiento de elección del presidente del Gobierno o el funcionamiento de la ley D’Hondt, descubriendo cómo se reparten los escaños. Compararemos el modelo español con otros sistemas políticos democráticos contemporáneos, para entender las diferencias entre un sistema parlamentario como el español o el italiano, respecto a un sistema semipresidencialista como el francés o presidencialista puro como el estadounidense. También nos adentraremos en la organización del Poder Judicial: qué tribunales existen, cómo se eligen los principales órganos de gobierno de los jueces, qué papel desempeña el Tribunal Constitucional o el Tribunal Supremo y en qué consisten conceptos como el aforamiento o la inmunidad parlamentaria. En definitiva una guía sencilla y útil para conocer mejor como funciona nuestra democracia y reflexionar sobre las bondades y defectos de nuestro sistema político RESUMEN DEL PLAN: 11.30 Charla ELECCIONES 29N Y SISTEMA POLÍTICO ESPAÑOL: MANUAL DE INSTRUCCIONES A cargo de Miguel Garau, (Doctor en Historia Contemporánea y animador de este grupo de meet up) Duración de la charla: 60-75 minutos A continuación preguntas y tertulia abierta Lugar: En el primer piso del mítico Café la Opera (Las Ramblas).
