"Commitments highlight need for governments to increase ambition
on climate action.
WASHINGTON - Today, 47 faith institutions announce their divestment from fossil fuels, making the largest-ever joint announcement of divestment among religious leaders. These include Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish institutions from 21 countries.
Participating institutions
include the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European
Union, American Jewish World Service, and Anglican and Methodist
churches across the United Kingdom. The full list of participating
institutions is here.
The announcement coincides with the fifth anniversary of the Paris agreement on climate change. Faith leaders’ action puts pressure on government leaders, and their commitment to clean energy stands in stark contrast with many governments’ failure to deliver ambitious energy strategies. "
