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.
