This is written as if it is bad news, but it's good news right? Investment in fossil fuel is slowing and renewables is increasing.
I don't completely understand the focus on bank financing. Banks will finance profitable projects in countries around the world. It's the job of governments to make fossil fuel project unprofitable. The financing is a symptom, not the cause.
It's mixed news. Less money into fossil fuels is good but little investment in renewables so far is bad
