PENSIONS AGE: Campaigners call on GMPF to divest from fossil fuels

Description

University of Manchester, Tyndall Centre on Climate Change, Dr John Broderick, said: “The carbon budgets we developed for Greater Manchester are intended to meet the Paris Agreement’s temperature objectives. To keep within this limit 80% of exploitable coal, oil and gas reserves have to remain under the ground. We need to tackle both the demand for fossil fuels and the supply and divesting is an effective way to do this.”
