Patience Nabukalu, now 27, became a climate activist after losing a friend to flooding in Kampala caused by climate change. Along with other young activists, she traveled to London to confront HSBC's CEO, urging the bank to stop financing fossil fuels and harmful projects. They delivered a letter referencing a report identifying HSBC as a leading financier of fossil fuels. The activists accuse HSBC of prioritizing profits over individuals impacted by climate change, highlighting the urgency of the bank's role in addressing the climate crisis.
At just nine years old, Patience Nabukalu experienced profound loss due to climate-induced flooding, prompting her to become an activist championing the voices of affected Ugandan communities.
Now 27, Nabukalu and fellow young activists are pushing HSBC to halt financing fossil fuel projects, highlighting the bank's significant contribution to the climate crisis.
The letter to HSBC's CEO stresses that the bank prioritizes profit over the well-being of millions suffering from climate damage, criticizing their delayed climate goals.
Nabukalu expressed her hope to directly engage with HSBC, stating it's essential to question their financing of projects that forcibly displace communities.
