Divest Notts campaign

DIVEST NOTTS! 

Email Nottinghamshire County Council & ask them to divest their pension funds from fossil fuel companies

Dear Friends  

This is a simple quick way that you can write to the leader of the County Council, Ben Bradley,  about the £155 million stlll invested in FOSSIL FUELS by the Nottinghamshire Local Government Pension Fund (administered by the County Council)

 

Click here: https://divestnotts.org  to send the email - and view a short film clip of Ben Bradley making promises about tackling the climate emergency - we have seen NOTHING so far.

 

Currently the Pension Fund has £155m invested in fossil fuel companies. Incredibly it has no targets for reducing the carbon footprint of its investments. It is not aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C, or anything even close.

Nottinghamshire Pension Fund must adopt ambitious climate targets to keep 1.5° alive.

On the eve COP 26 and before the next Pension Fund Committee on 4th November, Divest Notts is trying to get 300 emails sent demanding action. So please share this message with everyone who might agree to take part

 

Climate & Biodiversity

Climate & Biodiversity

There was never a more important time than this. Climate warming has begun to run away and the natural world is under threat from land use, fishing, agriculture and industry.

Driving much of this environmental damage are the fossil fuels we have come to rely on for transport and heating. Added to this, international trade & consumption - i.e. buying stuff - are destroying the very ecosystems we depend on to balance and sustain the earth.

The situation is critical. We have to do something.

 

The three demands of Extinction Rebellion are key:

• Tell the Truth
• Act Now
• Involve Everyone

 

There are things we can do. 

 

 

We can work together to make a real difference.
