Fossil Free Greater Manchester

Fossil Free Greater Manchester The Fossil Free Greater Manchester campaign is aiming to influence Greater Manchester Pension Fund to move their money out of fossil fuels.

Fossil Free Greater Manchester is bringing the fight on climate change to the doorstep of GM by focusing on the local govt pension fund's huge investments in fossil fuel companies There is currently £1.3bn invested in fossil fuels both directly (in companies like Shell and BP) and also indirectly. The argument to divest is becoming increasingly strong - In order to meet the internationally agreed

2C target a third of oil reserves, half of gas reserves and 80% of coal reserves must remain in the ground. This makes them stranded assets and Greater Manchester's money is in these stranded assets. It's time to call on GMPF to see that money in fossil fuels is no longer a good idea and it's time to move it out.

Over 80 countries are joining forces to phase out coal, oil, and gas. This is a historic opportunity to en...

Nigel Farage's Reform party has declared it wants to “drill baby drill” if it wins the next general election. There’s a temporary pause on fracking in England, but it’s not even written into law. So it would be all too easy for any future government to allow fracking to start again. This wou...
