“ClientEarth alleges that the Belgian National Bank's participation in the CSPP, by not taking into account climate, environment, and human rights impacts, violated Article 11 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU and Article 37 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (both concern the obligation to integrate environmental protection into EU policies).”

^ wow. Really disturbing that a national bank has such controversial investments. When a commercial bank invests in fossil fuels, we can boycott. But you can’t boycott a national bank.
