Follow the Money: Fossil Banks, COP31 & Citizen Action

Follow the Money: Fossil Banks, COP31 & Citizen Action

Wed, Nov 18, 6:30 PM
From Let's talk about climate change
4.8

**What happens when the money we put in the bank helps finance the very industries driving climate change?** We often talk about reducing our carbon footprints, changing our consumption habits, and pushing governments to take stronger climate action. But there is another important piece of the puzzle that deserves more attention: the role of banks, financial institutions and corporations in financing the fossil fuel industry and perpetuating the climate crisis. Following [our gathering last December](https://www.meetup.com/es-es/lets-talk-about-climate-change/events/312256713/?eventOrigin=group_calendar), where we came together to discuss COP30 and explore the realities of international climate negotiations, we're continuing the conversation. This month, we are honoured to have Adrien joining us again, and help us focus on the financial flows behind the climate crisis. We'll explore how banks continue to finance fossil fuels, how corporate interests influence climate policy, and what citizens can do to demand greater corporate accountability and drive change. **What will we discuss?** * COP31 and the influence of fossil fuel interests * Fossil banks: Following the money * Citizen action: Choosing a responsible bank * Corporate accountability beyond banking **About our speaker: Adrien Tofighi-Niaki** Adrien Tofighi-Niaki has 15 years of experience working at the intersection of climate change, environmental justice and human rights. His research focuses on extractive industries, corporate accountability, greenwashing, land rights and financial flows. He combines investigative research, data analysis and community-based approaches to support civil society advocacy and frontline communities. His work has been featured in The Guardian, BBC, Financial Times, NPR, Mongabay and Democracy Now!, among other international media outlets. Find out more: [https://www.aniaki.work/](https://www.aniaki.work/) **Why Join Us?** Climate action is not only about what governments decide at international conferences. It is also about where money flows, how corporations operate, and the choices and collective pressure we can bring to bear as citizens. Our everyday financial decisions may have more influence than we realise. Understanding the connections between our banks, corporate power and the climate crisis is an important step towards taking meaningful action. Whether you're already familiar with fossil fuel financing and corporate accountability or simply curious about what your bank has to do with climate change, you're very welcome! No specialist knowledge is required. **We kindly request a donation up to 5 euros to support the running of Let's Talk About Climate Change**, a voluntary initiative. See you there!

Most members don't drink so if you're interested in enjoying a sober social life, our group is ideal.

Charlas con consciencia 🌿

Fri, Nov 13, 10:00 AM
From Habitarse | Charlas con consciencia

# 🌿 ¡Habitarse ya tiene un hogar! **Habitarse** tiene un espacio fijo en el **Casal de Barri de la Llacuna**. **Habitarse — Charlas con consciencia** es un espacio donde podrás traer situaciones reales de tu vida: conversaciones difíciles, emociones que no sabes cómo gestionar, conflictos que se repiten o patrones que te gustaría transformar. Cada viernes exploraremos un tema diferente relacionado con la comunicación, la gestión emocional, las relaciones y los hábitos. A través de la conversación y la reflexión compartida, descubrirás nuevas perspectivas y herramientas prácticas para responder con mayor consciencia, en lugar de hacerlo en piloto automático. No es una clase ni una terapia grupal. Es un espacio humano, cercano y respetuoso, donde podrás participar a tu ritmo, compartir si lo deseas y sentirte escuchado sin miedo al juicio. No hace falta experiencia previa. Solo curiosidad, ganas de crecer y de regalarte un momento para ti. 📅 **Todos los viernes · 11:00 h** 📍 **Casal de Barri de la Llacuna** Me hace muchísima ilusión este nuevo capítulo y me encantará que formes parte de él desde el principio. ¡Te espero!

Forgotten Plants: Re-discovering Wild and Traditional Varieties

Tue, Nov 17, 5:45 PM
From Environmental Social Association of Barcelona ESAlogika
4.8

While this event itself is free of charge, **consumption at the venue is compulsory** and very affordable. We appreciate your understanding that our team works voluntarily, but the venue needs to pay rent and bills :) NUS - Neglected and Underutilized Species. In this workshop with **Alejandro García Díaz,** you will explore: * What they are * Why it's important to recover their use and related knowledge * Which ones can we find in this area of the Mediterranean, and * How they can be used Many of those plants were known and used everywhere a few decades ago; today, they are mostly used in less urbanized areas. The goal is to familiarize ourselves with those plants, in order to, little by little, reinsert them in our daily lives and support local biodiversity. Bonus! 🥕🪻🌿 There will be some samples of local plants for the audience to see, touch and smell! 🫳🏽👃🏼👀 ⌛♻️ **UPDATED** **Swap Shop** ♻️⌛ We're trying something new! Instead of bringing secondhand items, just bring yourself and your time, which you can exchange for someone else's. Intrigued but confused? We will explain how this works at the event, you don't need to prepare anything, just be ready to receive and give a bit of your time, if you want to participate. That's what community is for - building a network of support and shared moments :) *The interactive talk will begin at 19:00 sharp, please aim to arrive between 18:45 and 18:55 to have time to check-in and grab a drink at the bar* 😊 This workshop is part of the series of events called Tapa Talks, facilitated by Environmental Social Association - ESA Logika.

If you would like to support our mission, we have a [GoFundMe](https://whydonate.com/fundraising/support-esa-logika) account. **Tapa Talks** is an interactive workshop with new tools, practices and possibilities aimed to achieve a sustainable future 🌍 ❤️ Building a like-minded community, we focus on **positive thinking, cooperation and solutions**.

Frequently asked questions

Meetup is a platform that connects people with shared interests to meet in person or online for group events and activities, from social gatherings to hobby-based meetups.

You can use Meetup to search for local events by entering your city, interest, or keyword. It displays a list of nearby activities you may enjoy.

Yes, there are several conservation groups in Barcelona. Join these groups to connect with like-minded individuals passionate about environmental conservation efforts.

Conservation events may include cleanup efforts, sustainable living workshops, or educational sessions about local wildlife and plant life. Group activities vary based on organizer.

To participate, browse events on Meetup, RSVP to those that interest you, and follow organizer guidelines for attendance and preparation if needed.

Absolutely, beginners are welcome! Conservation groups often cater to all experience levels and appreciate fresh enthusiasm in environmental protection.

Both options are possible. Events can be in-person or online, depending on the host's organization, providing varying ways to connect with the community.

Some events might be free, while others could have a small fee for materials or expenses. Details are usually listed in each event's description on Meetup.

Barcelona's unique geographical and cultural context often influences conservation activities, focusing on local flora, fauna, and environmental issues.

Meeting people with similar interests is a central aspect of Meetup. Active participation enhances your chances of making meaningful connections.

No, each group is organized independently by different hosts. The style, frequency of events, and group dynamics can vary significantly.

While meeting like-minded people is common, friendships are not guaranteed. Building connections depends largely on engagement and shared interests.

Group availability may vary across different neighborhoods. Some areas might have a more active conservation community than others.

Not all interests may have active Meetup groups in every area. However, you can always start your own group if there's a gap.

Meetup primarily focuses on group activities. It is designed to foster community and collective participation rather than individual leisurely encounters.
