We're asking it to lead the way by divesting from fossil fuels and investing in positive solutions to climate change instead. Sign the petition to persuade the Greater Manchester Pension Fund to stop investing in fossil fuels. More information It's been revealed that the Greater Manchester Pension Fund has £1.3 billion invested in fossil fuels – more than any other Local Authority fund. Councils need to be leading the way in tackling climate change, not investing in destructive fossil fuel extraction. The divestment movement has been gaining momentum, with dozens of organisations saying they’ll quit funding oil, coal and gas – now we need councils to follow suit. We're asking the councils in our area to divest from fossil fuels. Can you help us?
