Biographical: Becky Tarbotton directs Rainforest Action Network’s Global Finance Campaign which since 2000 has successfully challenged the world’s largest banks to develop industry-leading environmental and human rights policies to guide their lending and advisory practices. By blending inside negotiation with outside agitation, RAN is pushing banks to shift financing away from coal development and other carbon-intensive projects that contribute heavily to global climate change, and to elicit meaningful emission reduction targets for their operations and investments. Rebecca has been campaigning on environmental sustainability and social justice issues for eleven years and holds a Masters in Community and Regional Planning from the University of British Columbia.
