Fossil Free Tyne & Wear Divestment Campaign A citizens’ movement pushing institutions in Tyne & Wear to divest from fossil fuels. Individuals are lobbying employers and switching to green finance.

About
A citizens’ movement pushing institutions in Tyne & Wear to divest from fossil fuels. And now the Divest Tyne & Wear campaign is targeting the pension fund used by all our local councils – Tyne & Wear Pension Fund. Around the world universities, cities, religious institutions and others are divesting from the rogue oil, gas and coal companies that are committed to burning five times more fos

sil fuel than our planet can safely take. We demand such climate leadership in Tyne & Wear – switching investment to greener jobs in a sustainable economy.
“It makes no sense to invest in companies that undermine our future. We need an apartheid-style boycott to save the planet” Desmond Tutu, 2014
