Fossil Free Greater Manchester are part of this rapidly growing global alliance campaigning for divestment. We’re working with 350.org and others to ask UK local authorities to take their cash and pension funds out of fossil fuels.
We are calling on the Greater Manchester Pension Fund to:
- Immediately freeze any new investments in fossil fuel companies
- Divest from companies involved in the exploitation of coal and unconventional oil or gas within two years and all fossil fuel companies within 5 years
- Work with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to develop and fund a low-carbon investment programme for Greater Manchester
Not only will this send a strong signal to the fossil fuel industry, government and other investors, but it will reduce the financial risk of continuing to hold these stranded assets, thus helping the fund in its duty to its members – current and future pensioners.
