Divest Lothian

We are campaigning for @Edinburgh_CC and @LothianPension Fund to stop investing in fossil fuels and to invest in more sustainable projects #divestlothian

[Divest Lothian @DivestLothian]

📢 Join @DivestLothian & @globaljusticesc on Friday 24th Nov at 1pm to mark 1 year since @Edinburgh_CC voted to end fossil fuel investments & the failure of Lothian Pension Fund to take action.

Let's send a clear message:
#ClimateJustice #DivestNow

Last night of our End the Fossil Fuel Era tour tonight at the @NEUnion with @mitzijonelle @RachaelMaskell @IreneVelezT & Michelle Singleton from @unisontheunion. It’s been an awesome, packed series of events building the movement for #ClimateJustice

[Divest USS @DivestUSS]

Great news and congratulations to all at Herriot-watt and P&P. Now we have to kick fossil fuels out of USS. No pensions on a dead planet and look at the terrifying events in Spain.

[XRUK_Actions @XRUK_Actions]

#ExtinctionRebellion #Scotland protested outside the #Glasgow offices of insurance companies Howden Group, AIG & AXA that enable new fossil fuel projects

Activists dressed as zombies danced a Killer Driller routine - there’s no insurance on an undead planet!
#InsureOurSurvival

[Extinction Rebellion Didsbury @XRDidsbury]

Today we toured insurance companies in #Manchester asking them to Insure our Futures - Not Fossil Fuels #InsureOurSurvival #ExtinctionRebellion 1/2

The new Peterhead gas power station could be FIVE TIMES worse for the climate than feared.

The developers have failed to produce an honest assessment of its harm.

Urge your MSPs to expose the truth of its climate impact: https://t.co/83pKzFgmt9

Brilliant work here uncovering that the companies pushing the plan for a new gas-burning power station with CCS have *hugely* undercounted climate emissions and misled the Scottish Government.

Climate impact could be FIVE TIMES WORSE than SSE & Equinor claim 🔥🔥🔥

[Tipping Point UK @TippingPointorg]

Join us tomorrow to stand up against Shell and demand that the UK government make polluters pay for loss and damage!

[Friends of the Earth Scotland 🌎 @FoEScot]

For the new Peterhead power station, SSE & Equinor failed to count climate pollution from:

❌extracting gas
❌processing gas
❌transporting gas

The @scotgov must order these energy giants to produce an honest climate assessment of the harm it will cause.

[Global Witness @Global_Witness]

Based in the UK? 🇬🇧

This week is the #MakePollutersPay week of action

We need to tell the UK government to step up, tax polluters and fill the loss and damage fund at COP29

[People & Planet @peopleandplanet]

🎉 VICTORY! Heriot-Watt University divests from fossil fuels! 🎉 

Huge congrats to students and staff that secured this win - including @HWUnion and the Society for Progressive Students! 🧡

A massive 110 UK universities have now excluded fossil fuels from their investments 🔥!

[Global Justice Now Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @globaljusticesc]

Fossil fuel companies Shell and BP between them made £30 billion in profits over the last year

More than the combined GDP of the five most climate vulnerable countries in the world

Hugh, a river ecologist from Inverness, on the impact of climate change on our rivers and why he's asking @AXA and @axainsurance to stop insuring fossil fuel projects.

In Edinburgh activists were highlighting @Edinburgh_CC's failure to divest from fossil fuels.

People were also calling on both Scottish + UK Government's to sign the @fossiltreaty

[Fossil Free London @fossilfreeLDN]

BREAKING: Shell just announced they made £4.6BN in just the last 3 months.

We're outside Shell's HQ, on their profits day, as part of #MakePollutersPay week of action, to demand Shell pay up for the devastation they've caused. 

Shell, stop sucking the life out of us 🦇🧛

BREAKING: @Barclays is really causing @Wimbledon a headache as its sponsor.

The bank is hijacking Wimbledon’s reputation to hide its multitude of sins as funder of climate crisis and genocide.

Wimbledon must drop them https://t.co/tCOqiYvBF5
