[4/5] European coal mines are mostly domestically owned, while over 30% of owners in Sub-Saharan Africa are based in other regions, often unidentifiable.

[3/5] Ownership of fossil fuel investments reflects global wealth inequality and shows new forms of colonial-style extraction.

[2/5] Despite global climate pledges, global capital flowing into fossil fuel projects still amounts to approximately USD 1.1 trillion - about one third of total energy investments.

🟢 Planned new oil, gas, and coal extraction alone could exhaust the 1.7°C carbon budget — This is one of the key findings presented in *Chapter 1.2 of the 2025 #ClimateInequality Report* outlining the scale of ongoing investments projects. Read more in this thread [1/5]🧵

Because fossil fuel companies often have complex transnational corporate structures, it’s hard to know who really owns them. This lack of transparency also makes it difficult to enforce effective regulation. [5/6]

Decarbonizing at home, burning fuel abroad? Ownership of fossil fuel investments reflects global wealth inequality and shows new forms of colonial-style extraction. [4/6]

🟢Wealthy individuals fuel the climate crisis through their investments even more than through their consumption and lifestyles — This is one of the key findings presented in *Chapter 1 of the 2025 #ClimateInequality Report*. Read more in this thread [1/6]🧵

Unlike owner-occupants, owners of rental, second, and vacant homes don’t factor natural disaster risks into prices. Absentee landlords own about half of all homes in flood-risk areas. Overvaluation in flood zones would drop at least 15% if these properties were priced like owner-occupied ones. [5/6]
