Councillors

If it’s bad for the environment, it’s bad for your retirement. Here are some of the things you can do to get your council to stop funding fossil fuels:

  • Seek representation on your council’s pension fund committee and push for divestment as a popular, moral and financially prudent decision.

  • Pass a divestment motion to sell all shares in fossil fuel companies within a defined number of years.

  • Identify local investment priorities that your pension fund can invest in, as other pension funds have done. Utilise public pension investments for the social good.

Fund managers

The Fossil Fuel age is ending, and financial markets know it. If pension fund committees don’t move their members’ money out of fossil fuels soon; lowering prices, financial instability and likely bankruptcies could cause huge losses.

    Everyone

    This movement has moved trillions out of the fossil fuel industry. But we need to go further, and we need to go faster. Whether you’re a finance wizz, an experienced campaigner, a pension fund member, a union member or completely new to all of this - we need you.

    Join the hundreds of people all across the UK campaigning for fossil free pensions;

    • Work with others! There are 50+ groups campaigning for their pension fund to stop funding fossil fuels. Join one near you, or set one up yourself!
