Despite more than 75% of councils declaring a climate emergency, UK local authority pension funds pump over £10bn into highly polluting fossil fuels. Many of our unions have already adopted policies supportive of Divestment but is there more that Trade Unionist can do to support those campaigns? With the Covid pandemic, some key pension divestment campaigns may have taken a step back and it is time to reignite that spark. Hundreds of people across the UK are taking action on the 24th March 2023 to demand their local government pension funds divest from crisis and invest in our future. Find out why, and how you and your Trade union, Branch or Trades Council can get involved. This briefing will cover key information about pensions investments in Fossil Fuels extraction and the campaign to stop it. We will remind you of some achievements and highlight the work still needed. This cant be done without Trade Unionists. Local authorities workers is particular must be at the forefront of the effort to divest their pensions and they need the support of the Trade Union movement. https://actionnetwork.org/events/divestment-trade-union-briefing
