In 2025, just 12 banks provided almost 40% of ALL fossil fuel funding from banks worldwide. That’s right, a dozen dirty banks are responsible for well over a third of the $906 billion poured into fossil fuels last year. See where your bank falls on the list: bankingonclimatechaos.org
Bar chart titled 'The Dirty Dozen: Top 12 banks financing fossil fuels globally, 2021–2025.' Banks ranked by fossil fuel financing, highest to lowest: JPMorgan Chase $248.5B, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial $211.3B, Citigroup $206.9B, Bank of America $205.3B, Mizuho Financial $204.9B, Wells Fargo $191.0B, Royal Bank of Canada $173.4B, SMBC Group $146.1B, Barclays $138.3B, Scotiabank $136.9B, Toronto-Dominion Bank $127.4B, Goldman Sachs $113.3B.
