The Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF) is the biggest local authority pension fund in the country. It is also one of the biggest investors in fossil fuels, with over £1 billion invested in companies like Shell and BP.
Not only are coal, oil and gas bad news for the climate, they are also risky investments – fossil fuel companies will find the majority of their reserves ‘unburnable‘ if we are to keep global warming below 2 degrees C.
The GMPF is consulting on its Statement of Investment Principles until Friday 4th September. Please use the form below to send a response calling on the GMPF to divest from fossil fuels and invest in clean energy.
