New @TheFinanceLab research shows UK pension schemes still have c. Ā£10.5bn invested in coal companies.
Peers have proposed practical changes to the #PensionsSchemesBill to support an orderly divestment - to protect pension savers and the planet.

When savings are pooled into pension funds the collective strength is huge.
That money should help rebalance the country & benefit ordinary people.
Pension funds could pay for more council houses and cheaper renewable energy, which would benefit us all.

Workersā pensions shouldnāt be tied to companies breaching international law.
Yet LGPS funds invest Ā£12bn in firms linked to Israelās oppression of Palestinians.
Iām calling for investment in what our communities need: social housing and green technology.

Amazing work by divestment campaigners in NYC š It's time for all pension funds to drop BlackRock - a vital move to protect workers' wages, our planet, and our futures.

šØ: @bradlander today announced recommendations to end $42 billion in investment with BlackRock, as it leads funding of fossil fuels.
Itās now time for our pension trustees to follow Comptroller Brad Lander and deliver pension funds that donāt invest in our cityās destruction.

āNo system can be future-proof if it ignoresā¦climate change and ecosystem collapseā
People deserve pensions that look to the future, not the past.
Itās time to move money into investments that support a secure retirement.

š¢Our pensions are currently fuelling the climate crisis with billions invested in fossil fuels. That's why I am proud to have submitted an amendment to the Pension Schemes Bill recommended by the Better Pensions Coalition @TheFinanceLab

š¢ļøš NEW: #KickBigPollutersOut reveals more than *5000 fossil fuel lobbyists* accessed the previous four COPs combined.
Little wonder the conference keeps failing to mandate a fossil fuel phase out.
There was never any time to waste: big polluters must be ejected from COP!

š¢ @unitetheunion's new report reveals: Ā£500/year of the average UK household's energy bills is going directly into energy company profits.
The UK has the highest energy bills in Europe because of our system is privatised. We must bring this essential service into public hands.

šŖ« @unitetheunion report: UK energy companies making Ā£30 billion a year in profits
#Energy bills up by 42% since 2021, whilst energy companies made Ā£30 billion profit in just one year. The @GOVUK is turning a blind eye to these excessive profits. That must change. Everyday people cannot continue to pay. 1/2 ā¤µļø

For communities in East Africa, climate change is real. We see it in prolonged droughts and flash floods, as well as the loss of farm animals, property, and extreme hunger. We agree that every generation leaves something behind. Let ours be justice! #StopEACOP!

25 young community leaders are participating in the inaugural East Africa Regional Tribunal, organized by the Future Generations Tribunal, documenting their lived experiences of climate harm in the region and transforming testimony into evidence and memory into mandate.
