Finance for Future features an interview with the Berlin-based degrowth and climate justice activist and campaigner Tonny Nowshin, calling in from Bangladesh in the build up to the Global Day of Finance Action, 29 October 2021. It also presents conversations with some folks I met at on that day on the steps of Helsinki Parliament: Steven Vanholme and Iciar Montes from EKOenergy, an independent non-profit energy label who help finance renewable energy projects around the world and Olavi Fellman a spokesperson for Fridays for Future Helsinki. It also features voices from those involved in actions around the world on that day and in the opening days of the UN climate conference, COP26, Glasgow, 31 October–12 November 2021 — notably Samoan activist Brianna Fruean and the Koala Kollektiv.

#FossilBanksNoThanks!
Banks such as @Nordea have committed to net-zero in 2050. However, distant promises are not enough. Together with #FossilFreeFinland and #FridaysForFuture, we are demanding meaningful action now.
Banks have to align their policies with the #ParisAgreement. pic.twitter.com/ZuZSLnJTSp— EKOenergy ecolabel (@EKOenergy_) October 29, 2021

"We shouldn’t be the ones standing here, begging the world, begging banks, to divest from a problem that everyone knows the solution to. We need to be divesting from the fossil fuel industry, this is the only way we can insure that our homes are safe." pic.twitter.com/FSqJR8eOmn
