Danger Ahead

Vanguard continues to sink billions into fossil fuel companies with dangerous expansion plans that are driving the climate crisis, which could trigger the next global financial crisis. There’s no turning back: We can’t expand coal, oil, or gas if we hope to meet the goals of the Paris Climate agreement and limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Vanguard’s reckless actions endanger us all

The quiet giant based in Malvern, PA continues to go big on fossil fuels, with $444 billion in exposure across its portfolio as of 2024, making Vanguard the top backer of fossil fuels worldwide. As the world shifts to clean energy, billions of dollars in fossil fuel assets — and the companies behind them – will quickly become worthless.

Danger Ahead

Climate inaction will produce devastating results

Economists increasingly agree that climate change will cause the next big financial crisis.
Climate chaos could reduce average global incomes by 19% by 2049 – a $38 trillion loss.
About half the world’s fossil fuel assets could become worthless by 2036.
Nearly half the world’s population is already vulnerable to dangerous climate impacts.

Extreme weather events like wildfires, floods, droughts, and hurricanes, have tripled in the last 30 years. We’re all feeling the climate chaos, but Black, Brown, Indigenous, and communities of color on the front lines are always the hardest hit. We need climate justice now, and we need Vanguard to do more.
