Divestment from Fossil Fuels Is a Big Deal in Today’s World

We often hear that young people are much more environmentally conscious than previous generations, and we certainly have to hope that’s true.  It’s certainly the case with a young woman named Emma, who writes as follows:

As a trainee journalist…I’ve been lucky enough to be part of some really exciting projects…but there few things I find more exciting than a mass movement of people fighting back – and it’s hard to imagine a more important fight than climate change.

When you’re at the start of your career, like me, a pension can seem a long way off and any savings you have too small to matter.  Many (people say) that it does matter – and (perhaps) you’d like our help to (change the way your pension funds are invested). 

That’s why I am coordinating a new Keep it in the Ground series about how you can divest your life called ‘divest your life’. The series will include guides, several live Q & As and profiles of people who are leading the charge. 

For anyone who may be interested, here is an instruction manual designed to help people make sure that their investments steer away from fossil fuels.
