Despite growing pressure on governments and banks to focus energy financing towards greener paths, some the world's biggest banks have continued to increase their financing into companies active in the fossil fuel life cycle. In a 2020 report released by the Rainforest Action Network (ran.org), 35 of the world's largest banks put approximately 2.75 trillion U.S. dollars into financing fossil fuel companies between 2016 and 2019.
In 2019, the total value of the Royal bank of Scotland (RBS) financing to companies active across the fossil fuel life cycle decreased from the previous year. The fossil fuel sector that received the most financing from RBS in 2019 were expansion projects.
