ROCHDALE ONLINE: Campaigners call on GM Pension Fund to divest from climate-wrecking fossil fuel investments

Description

Dr John Broderick, Tyndall Centre on Climate Change, University of Manchester 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.”
