Fossil Free Health

A global grassroots campaign calling on health institutions to divest from fossil fuels. #DivestHealth #DoNoHarm #Fossilfreehealth #Healthyplanet

[Fossil Free Health @divesthealth]

#ClimateChange will affect both physical +mental health therefore health professionals should be at the forefront of the fight #divesthealth

[Health for a Green New Deal @Health4GND]

In recent years, the UK health community has shown remarkable courage on climate change with unions and royal colleges refusing to continue investing in fossil fuels. Not a single penny!

It’s time for Wellcome to follow their example. Health justice MEANS climate justice.

With 10 days to go until the start of COP 26, the @LancetCountdown 2021 report highlights the deepening inequities in a warming world

It is people and communities who have contributed the least that feel the worst effects of climate breakdown.

We're just 7 signatures away from 200 on this important divestment campaign we're working on with @divesthealth & @Medact.

We all know it's ridiculous for a medical institution to be investing in health-damaging fossil fuel companies. Add your voice - https://t.co/B0P0UHYZrj

It’s astonishing the government has just approved a new coal mine in Cumbria.

We’ve written to the Prime Minister with 80+ local and national campaigners, urging the government to reverse its decision. #NoNewCoal

📢#AMR research should not come at the expense of our climate!🌍

@INEOS don't think for a second that throwing money at universities is going to make us forget your overwhelming contribution to emissions and plastic pollution.
