Surrey Pensions are invested in the companies driving #ClimateChange, the risk of stranded assets jeopardises the retirement plans of thousands of Surrey locals

[SurreyPensionActNow @SurreyPensions]

Surrey Pension Fund has £151m invested in compnies driving #ClimateChange

Our open letter, signed by #ExtinctionRebellion Surrey, @friends_earth, @campaigncc & others lays out the urgent moral & financial case for divestment. We call on SPF to stop funding the #ClimateCrisis

Do you pay tax in Surrey? Maybe you're even a member of the Surrey Pension Fund? If so we need you!

Surrey Pension Fund are currently consulting on their draft RI policy, but we don't think its good enough. Take action: https://t.co/yh2A72Ee13

Today we supported 7 other climate groups at the Border to Coast Pensions Partnership 2022 conference.

We're calling on Councillors in charge of local government pension funds to divest their oil & gas investments of over £1.3 billion.

For a liveable climate, we can’t have any new oil, gas or coal projects.

@BorisJohnson as PM it is your job to keep people in the UK safe - and you can't do that by approving new oil and gas fields like Jackdaw.

Time to pick a side: @Shell, or everyone else #StopJackdaw

[SurreyPensionActNow @SurreyPensions]

Hey @KwasiKwarteng - you said recently "gas is more expensive than renewable energy - so we need to move away from gas."

So why support new fields like Jackdaw?

You know that approving Jackdaw won’t lower bills. Do the right thing and #StopJackdaw

[SurreyPensionActNow @SurreyPensions]

Pressure on council pension funds to divest from fossil fuels keeps on mounting! https://t.co/DmrCd5JRWv

[UK Divest @UKDivest]

Great thread from the folks at @DivestEast detailing Exxon's plans to spend billions developing new oil fields - not exactly what we'd call a successful engagement outcome.

Our councils must stop waiting around for oil companies to change and #DivestNow!

[SurreyPensionActNow @SurreyPensions]

We need action, not words. https://t.co/mDgB6IszUk

🚨STOP JACKDAW 🚨

The UK gov could approve a new gas field, owned & operated by fossil fuel giant Shell

This won't lower our energy bills or create dependable energy, but would create a much pollution as half of Scotland

Together we stopped Cambo. Now we need to #StopJackdaw

[Mikaela Loach - It’s Not That Radical 📖🇵🇸 @mikaelaloach]

"Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels. Investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure is moral and economic madness." -António Gueterres, UN Sec Gen #IPCC

[Ashden☀️🌎💡 @Ashden_org]

In the week the UN @IPCC_CH warned that rapid climate action is humanity's priority, the UK govt's energy plan actually increases fossil fuel use. Smart thinking would be ramping up renewable energy and retrofitting every house in the UK. #EnergyStrategy https://t.co/vLiKlOxNfb

[Polly Bindman @pollybindman]

In light of yesterday’s IPCC report, it doesn’t bode well that the banks providing the most financing to fossil fuels have the weakest policies : for @CapitalMonitorA https://t.co/QzDwCIT9rx

[SurreyPensionActNow @SurreyPensions]

We must divest from fossil fuels and invest in climate solutions now! Surrey Pension Fund, it's time to act.

[Bloomberg Green @climate]

Too much money continues to pour into fossil fuels and too little is channeled to clean energy, according to the IPCC's new climate report https://t.co/DbCTvDNp7B

My message in the face of the recent IPCC report? Whether we are driven by rage or by theory, by creativity or by education, whether we are doctors, activists, authors, musicians, lawyers or mothers, there is a role for everyone in the climate movement.

[SurreyPensionActNow @SurreyPensions]

"Shareholders should vote against the directors of banks who are hiding their exposure to climate risk." 💯

This is where engagement has the potential to be really powerful. https://t.co/ZD01oGgDOY

[SurreyPensionActNow @SurreyPensions]

Much needed good news, there's no future in oil. 🙌🙌

[ClientEarth @ClientEarth]

We're supporting @greenpeacefr, @amisdelaterre and @NotreAffaire take action against TotalEnergies over greenwashing. Its ’net zero’ marketing strategy lets Total pose as a climate hero, while its continues to fuel worsening climate change. https://t.co/qSMf0Piaxm
