Divestment from Fossil Fuels

Divestment from Fossil Fuels
That this Assembly notes the warning from the Bank of England’s Prudential Regulation Authority of a serious financial risk associated with investments in fossil fuels; recognises that in order to prevent warming over 2 degrees centigrade, three quarters of fossil fuel reserves must remain in the ground; expresses concern that a number of public sector pension schemes continue to invest in fossil fuels; and calls on the Assembly Commission, Northern Ireland Local Government Officers' Superannuation Committee, the Northern Ireland Civil Service, Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University to divest from fossil fuels.
