RT @UNSW: We're proud to announce we're moving away from investment in fossil fuels. By 2025, we'll divest from companies whose primary business is the ownership and exploitation of fossil fuels as part of our commitment to being a world-leader in climate science.

RT @lindsaymeim14: BREAKING: @NYCMayor announces intent to stop ALL new fossil fuel projects. If we can make it happen in the financial capital of the world, we can make it happen everywhere!

RT @BenOquist: Bam 💥 “But above all we have to face this fact; coal is on the way out. It is, as we are seeing today, a matter of life and death. Whether we like it or not, demand for our export coal is going to decline and expire.” @TurnbullMalcolm

RT @NordicPolicyCtr: "I believe we are on the edge of a fundamental reshaping of finance," BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink said. "Investors are increasingly reckoning with these questions and [recognising] that climate risk is investment risk."

RT @NordicPolicyCtr: 💥The world's largest fund manager, BlackRock, is dumping thermal coal!💥 This comes after Norway announced it would divest more than $17b from fossil fuels and the Swedish central bank began boycotting government bonds from high emitting states

RT @billmckibben: Shell CEO on climate change: “Yeah, we knew. Everybody knew. And somehow we all ignored it.” This is beyond maddening. Not everyone knew, because the oil industry worked for 3 decades to cover it up. Your greed wasted our best chance at survival

RT @TheAusInstitute: “For every Australian, the country mines 57 tonnes of fossil fuel CO2 per year. That is 10 times greater than the world average” - writes our dep director @ebony_bennett in today’s @canberratimes “There must be a reckoning.” #bushfires #auspol

RT @billmckibben: A trillion dollars spent on war returns nothing except trauma and misery; a trillion dollars spent on solar panels leaves behind a nation that gets its power for free each morning when the sun comes up.

London and NYC Mayors Call on Every Major City in the World to Divest From Climate-Destroying Fossil Fuels

RT @Clara_Vondrich: “I’m strongly in favour of divestment in fossil fuel stocks, and I believe that the world faces incredible economic risks from a massive bubble of subprime carbon assets” says @algore. #ClimateMinskyMoment could cost investors tens of trillions @lesliehook

RT @XRebellionAus: Our friends @stopadani are in @GHDspeaks foyer in Melbourne right now. What could be more Christmasy than wanting everyone to live happily ever after?

RT @FossilFreeYale: Breaking: a powerful message of support for endowment justice from @yalefootball '20 defensive end/tight end Devin Moore. "Yale and Harvard have a responsibility to divest... This is an emergency, and it's time that they act like it." #NobodyWins @DivestHarvard

RT @market_forces: "We would 100% boycott companies doing work with coal, oil and gas and refuse to work for them" 👏👏💪eng students standing up for their future and refusing to work with companies like @GHDspeaks & @CalibreGroupAus which are helping Adani. #StopAdani

RT @SunriseHarvard: BREAKING: Over 150 Yale + Harvard students, alumni, faculty stormed the field at #HarvardYale to demand DIVESTMENT from fossil fuels & cancel holdings in Puerto Rican debt. When it comes to the status quo, #NobodyWins. @YaleEJC @FossilFreeYale @DivestHarvard
