The report, titled \u201cGreenwashing the Amazon,\u201d reveals that only one bank, HSBC, has implemented effective policies to protect the Amazon rainforest and its Indigenous Peoples.<\/p>\n<p>The Amazon rainforest, crucial for global biodiversity and climate stability, is approaching a critical tipping point. The report emphasizes that banks like Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, Ita\u00fa Unibanco, Santander, and Bank of America contribute to the region\u2019s destruction by failing to enforce robust environmental and social risk management frameworks. On average, 71% of the Amazon is left unprotected by these banks\u2019 policies, making the region vulnerable to deforestation, biodiversity loss, and violations of Indigenous rights.<\/p>\n<p>The report highlights the dire consequences of continued oil and gas financing. In Ecuador, oil and gas concessions overlap with 65% of Indigenous Territories, leading to significant environmental degradation and numerous oil spills that have severely impacted Indigenous communities. Similarly, in Peru, 33% of Indigenous Territories are threatened by oil and gas operations, posing risks to both the environment and Indigenous cultures, including those of uncontacted tribes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentenergyleader.com\/2024\/06\/new-report-highlights-banks-greenwashing-and-risks-to-amazon-rainforest\/\">Environment Energy Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-531\/\">New Report Highlights Banks\u2019 Greenwashing and Risks to Amazon Rainforest<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1177,575,1325,2905],"class_list":["post-131458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-amazon","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-greenwashing","tag-rainforest"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131458\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
