Invest in solutions to climate, cost of living and energy crises - not fossil fuel companies

The Pensions Committee of Leicestershire Local Government Pension Scheme

See the petition text at the end of this page.

As local Council Tax payers and Pension Scheme Members, it is our money that the Leicestershire Local Government Pension Scheme invests.
The globally agreed plan to tackle climate change by reducing carbon emissions is being undermined by the fossil fuel industry’s development of more coal, oil and gas fields.
By publicly ending investment in fossil fuels, pension funds make strong national and international climate legislation more likely.
Investing in fossil fuel companies takes investment away from solutions to the climate crisis, cost of living crisis, energy crisis and green jobs.
Fossil fuel investments are becoming financially risky for the pensions scheme.

From: [Your Name]

In light of the worsening impacts of climate change, and the energy and cost of living crises, we, the undersigned local people, Council Tax payers and pension scheme members call on you to:
1. Publicly commit now to ending all investment in fossil fuel companies by 2025.
2. Move the money currently invested in fossil fuel companies to local solutions to fuel poverty and the climate crisis such as renewable energy and energy efficient social housing.
