Tell the Chancellor, George Osborne, to stop the Royal Bank of Scotland investing taxpayers' money in projects and companies that are wrecking the climate and threatening human rights.

Take action: Stop taxpayers' money funding climate change

Tell the Chancellor, George Osborne, to stop the Royal Bank of Scotland investing taxpayers’ money in projects and companies that are wrecking the climate and threatening human rights.

Thank you for calling the Financial Services Authority (FSA) during our week of action (19th - 23rd July) and asking them to rein in the irresponsible food gambling by Goldman Sachs and other banks like them.

The European Commission and the French and US governments have all said they want to bring food speculation into the open and regulate it to stabilise prices. We need to you to help pressure the UK government to ensure that it backs proposals for regulation and not to take sides with the banks to block reform.

On Monday we’ll be launching a week of phone calls to the Financial Services Authority, raising the alarm about food speculation and telling them to stop investment banks from betting on hunger. 

Investment banks drive huge sums of money into food speculation, pushing up the price of food, and destabilising economies.

Goldman Sachs profited from speculation to the tune of $5billion in 2009, and lobbied for the deregulation in the 1990s which allowed excessive betting on food to begin.”

Help us reach our goal of achieving justice for the world's poor by taking part in our actions.

You can help stop betting on hunger and take action to ensure the UK supports proposals to stop reckless bankers gambling on global food markets.
