Fossil fuels contribute to a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Hence, we must aim for an exit from fossil fuels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the role of financial institutions in exiting fossil fuels?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial institutions should stop financing projects and companies involved in the expansion of fossil fuels. Indeed, in order to continue developing such projects, companies need financing. <mark>If financial institutions refuse to finance them, it could significantly reduce the amount of fossil fuel projects.<\/mark>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are financial institutions still investing in these types of projects?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason why financial institutions continue to invest in fossil fuels is that&nbsp;fossil fuels are a reliable cash flow. <strong>Financial institutions fear the transition to quitting fossil fuels. <\/strong>This means that they tend to continue investing in these types of projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Blackrock is a great example of greenwashing.
