UK financiers responsible for rainforest loss, says WWF

WWF urged the government to create a framework to ensure that UK funders are not contributing to deforestation elsewhere as the country strives to achieve net zero emissions by 2050

UK financiers are directly responsible for rainforest devastation, says WWF. According to the group, 300 UK-based financiers are contributing £40 billion in direct funding to enterprises that threaten the survival of Brazilian and Indonesian rainforests.

The group has urged the government to ensure that UK banks and other financial institutions do not contribute to global deforestation.
