WWF’s campaign to promote clean, renewable energy – Seize Your Power – has contributed to major investment shifts away from fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas. Working with many other organisations and partners, the campaign set out to shift US$40 billion in investments away from fossils fuels into the development of clean, renewable energy sources: Such a shift of investments is urgent and crucial to move the world towards climate-safe energy sources. The result is an unprecedented wave of commitments from international development finance organisations, ranging from multilateral banks, governments, pension funds and governments, to move away from coal-based energy projects, given their disastrous impacts on health and climate.
