Watchtower
Watchtower uses AI to reveal whether the world’s largest banks’ climate and fossil fuel financing practices match their commitments.
Our latest collaboration: ING helped fossil fuel firms raise over $900 million despite climate pledge
Policies from 101 of the world’s biggest banks, gathered and monitored daily. Track everything from major policy updates to the smallest changes that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Our AI-powered policy synthesis tools extract banks’ climate commitments and surface the fine print that weakens or narrows them. In seconds, not days or weeks.
* Freely available to NGOs, researchers and organizations working towards the same goals.
Tell us which and we’ll let you know when its policies change.
