Americans for Financial Reform is leading the charge to expose and combat private equity's massive investments in climate-destroying fossil fuel projects. Our scorecard, recently featured in The Guardian, has put this critical issue in the global spotlight.
We've revealed that private equity firms have poured over $1 trillion into the energy sector since 2010, funding projects that pump out more than a billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually. Even more alarming, much of this destructive investment comes from public sector workers' retirement savings.
But exposing the problem is just the beginning. We're pushing for concrete change from advocating for stricter disclosure rules to closing regulatory loopholes and demanding pension fund managers consider climate impacts.
Your support is crucial in this fight. Private equity firms have deep pockets and armies of lobbyists working to maintain the status quo. We need your help to keep up the pressure and push for meaningful reform.
