A pension is an investment in the future. So why are Irish pensions being invested in fossil fuels that are destroying any chance we have of seeing a future⁉️

We crashed the gala dinner for the Irish Association of Pension Funds to expose this hypocrisy.

Contact your pension provider and ask them to divest from fossil fuels, & join the climate movement! ✊

Did you know your pension fund could be fuelling the climate crisis? Many pension funds invest heavily in fossil fuel companies, driving environmental destruction while lining the pockets of multinational corporations. It’s time to demand accountability and push for sustainable, ethical investments that prioritise the planet over profit.

It’s no surprise that big #polluting companies are not happy about annual #CarbonTax increases. But it is #unfair that #BritishColumbians must pay the full carbon tax when the #OilAndGas industry, whose production is responsible for more than one-quarter of #BritishColumbia #CarbonEmissions, gets a carbon #TaxBreak.

The new system will also have a negative impact on B.C.’s carbon #TaxRevenues. In 2024-25, carbon tax revenues will be about $500 million lower than they would have been under the old system. This #RevenueLoss means fewer dollars to pay for #ClimateAction.

These changes point to a #BCgovernment that is far too cosy with the oil and gas #industry. And they make no sense given the urgency of acting on #ClimateChange. #Disasters in 2021 alone caused between $11 billion and $16 billion in damage to the #BCeconomy.

If B.C. really wants to be a #climate leader, the government must stop pandering to lobbying by the oil and gas industry that is causing climate change and act in the interests of all British Columbians

"2022 [Scorecard] report from Private Equity Climate Risks, a consortium of nonprofit and research groups focused on financial transparency and accountability, found that 73 percent of KKR’s energy portfolio consists of companies invested in fossil fuels, making it one of the top three private equity firms in the world for the proportion of its investments in oil and gas. KKR self-identifies as “a leader in asset-based investing in the oil and gas industry,” despite also claiming a commitment to sustainable investing." #MoMADropKravis #KKRKills #divest #divestment #DivestFromFossilFuels https://insideclimatenews.org/news/09062023/museum-modern-art-fossil-fuel-donor-protest/

@davidho One of the happiest financial days of my life was the day I divested my retirement nest egg from the S&P500 index fund (which includes many Oily Boy firms) to some ESG funds.

It was the largest financial transaction in my life, by far. And it felt so good to pull every single dime of my life savings out of anything that reeked of oil. #divestfromfossilfuels

#UniversityOfWashington "students are seeking a commitment that UW will achieve 95% decarbonization by 2035, and a concurrent emissions reduction, by replacing the fossil fuels used to heat the campus with geothermal energy and heat pumps. The university now has a goal to meet this target by 2050, but as one of the state’s top greenhouse gas polluters — ranked 30th in Washington — students say waiting nearly 30 years is not ambitious enough." #divest #divestment #DivestFromFossilFuels
