In an age when the connection between fossil fuels and climate change is becoming more apparent, we must continue to question the billions banks provide to big oil and gas. Fortunately, we can do more than question. In fact, we can reimagine a climate-safe economy that puts people before profit. That’s why Change Course, Stand.earth and Canada’s National Observer are launching the first annual Climate Finance Scholarship Contest, an opportunity for young people across Canada to showcase and share visionary, solutions-oriented stories that reimagine the role of these powerful financial institutions in our communities. Each of the two contest winners will win $2,500 scholarships for written or multimedia submissions.
