This fossil fuel industry consultant understands the divestment campaign better than many climate “experts.”

“These divestitures fuel public pressure on regulators to stop oil and gas projects and encourage communities to oppose their construction.” https://t.co/C4IFMtJOmW

Councils in the UK invest £10 billion in fossil fuels.

It's time to reinvest this money in the public good.

Invite your councillor to join our discussion next Tuesday with energy and local economy experts using this email tool: https://t.co/G74GrI6W04

.@EnfieldIndy: @EnfieldCouncil slammed over fossil fuel investments.

@Nesil_Caliskan, you have the power to get the Pension Committee to commit to full divestment. Please use it!

@DivestEnfield @friends_earth @PlatformLondon @EnfieldCouncil Over £3m in Exon. Oooph... it's not looking good Enfield Council. Who is the leader and what are they doing about this?

[Mark Campanale @CampanaleMark]

Platform's new report: "UK councils still invest in fossil fuels despite declaring climate emergency." Nearly £10bn worth of investments including in oil and gas made via pension funds in last financial year. You can read my foreword to the report here https://t.co/58KklryoQn

[Al Sims @AlSims17]

Enfield Council fails to deliver (again).

[Platform @PlatformLondon]

It's great to see local divest groups use our report and interactive data tool to put pressure on their local pensions fund committee to do the right thing.

[Divest Enfield @DivestEnfield]

Right now they are failing. Divestment means political leadership, it means financial stewardship. @EnfieldCouncil must follow @lambeth_council, @wfcouncil, @lb_southwark & @IslingtonBC and commit to a plan to fully divest - and live up to its climate commitments.

Despite declaring a climate emergency in 2019, the Council's Pension Committee have made no plan consistent with the Council's Climate Action Plan.

The Pension Fund MUST come up with a plan for full divestment - it is their fiduciary duty to protect the find from climate risks.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

I'm joined by cross-party MPs writing to trustees of the MPs Pension Fund demanding divestment from climate-wrecking fossil fuels

Government has finally pledged to stop fossil fuel finance abroad. Parliament must now get its own house in order

[Divest Enfield @DivestEnfield]

The UK Govt - usually slow on climate issues - has moved further and faster on fossil fuels in the last few years than @EnfieldCouncil has, despite Enfield's declaration of a climate emergency. Enfield: Make a plan to fully divest from fossil fuels.

I proudly join fellow alumni urging Trinity College, Cambridge to DIVEST FROM FOSSIL FUELS. As a citadel of science w/ more Nobel Prizes than most countries, & Oxbridge's richest college by far, it's time Trinity put its money where its minds are.

We told @EnfieldCouncil at the start of our campaign that there was a future legal risk of continuing to invest in fossil fuels. Now - it's happening.

// CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY TO FULLY DIVEST FROM ALL DIRECT AND INDIRECT INVESTMENTS IN FOSSIL FUELS \\

Today @Cambridge_Uni has committed to fully divest from all direct and indirect investments in fossil fuel companies by 2030!

⌚⌛⏰⏳, @EnfieldCouncil! Don't play yourself - set your plan out to #divest!

To all the institutions that failed to divest because you claimed your fiduciary duty prevented you from doing so:
