Climate activists have plastered more than 250 billboards, bus stops and tubes with parody HSBC adverts to highlight the bank’s “climate colonialism”.

The spoof adverts were created by 15 artists across 10 UK cities to mock HSBC’s controversial “We Are Not An Island’ ad campaign, a high profile initiative launched in 2019.
