Indigenous Rights Violations from Your Everyday Bank - Fossil Free RBC

Funded by RBC

From fires and floods, do you want to know how RBC is using your money to displace Indigenous peoples and fund the climate crisis?

EACOP

The East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is the world’s largest proposed crude oil pipeline at 897 miles, whose primary financial backer is French fossil fuel company TotalEnergies. EACOP endangers communities, food, and water, and risks locking in fossil fuels for decades.

Trans Mountain Pipeline

The Trans Mountain pipeline (TMX), if built, would ship more than 590,000 barrels per day of highly polluting tar sands crude to the B.C. coast, increasing Canada’s climate emissions and making it impossible to meet our Paris commitments.

Port Arthur LNG

The proposed Port Arthur LNG project is a fracked gas export terminal based on the Gulf Coast in Southeast Texas. The development of a fracked gas export terminal will severely harm Black and Brown residents in Port Arthur, exposing them to severe health risks from air, water and land pollution.

Amazonia

RBC’s corporate colonialism extends beyond Canada – financing projects like the rainforest of Amazonia. It is a critical time for Amazonia, as the rainforest is facing a tipping point due to extractive activities like deforestation, oil and gas project expansion, agriculture, and mining. But despite the urgency of protecting at least 80% of the rainforest in order to prevent permanent destruction, RBC provided over $199 million in financing to oil and gas companies in the region.

Coastal Gaslink

First conceived in 2012, Coastal GasLink made international headlines in early 2020, when Canada’s Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) forcibly arrested Wet’suwet’en land defenders and allies at a camp along a contested logging road. The raid sparked solidarity protests and railway blockades across the country.
