A big group of universities led by Cambridge are getting together to move their investments away from fossil fuels. It’s complicated finance stuff but essentially this is so they can avoid investing in new coal and gas fired power plants in OECD countries. It should also help to increase the funding for renewable energy around the world.
More details and the list of participating institutions are here. If your institution is listed email your Finance Officer thanking them for taking part but ask whether they support USS investing your pension in fossil fuels. If your institution is not listed, send them the link and ask them to join in (and ask whether they support USS investing your pension in fossil fuels)!
