The divestment of New York's pension fund is making big news today. The story is on the front page of the New York Times. "Mr. DiNapoli, who is the fund’s sole trustee, has joined other investors who have concluded that energy companies that do not reshape themselves to part with oil and gas are poor long-term bets, and who seek to use their financial clout to address the threat of climate change." #sriinvesting #esginvesting #financialliteracy #divestment #divestny #climatechange https://www.nytimes.com//new-york-pension-fossil-fuels.htm

We are celebrating the vision of New York State's Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli for his decision to divest from fossil fuels. We are proud to live in a state that recognizes climate change and is moving towards responsible investing. https://www.osc.state.ny.us//new-york-state-pension-fund-s

New York State's divestment announcement has been years in the making due to the efforts of concerned citizens. The Divest NY coalition is a people-powered group of citizens and activists from around the state who have been working tirelessly for several years to achieve divestment from New York State. This comprehensive divestment strategy will evaluate fossil fuel companies and their climate change risk on a rolling basis. It includes not only the oil majors, but exploration, transportation, small integrated oil and gas companies, equipment services, and storage. #esginvesting #sriinvesting # #climatechange #investorawareness https://www.bloomberg.com//new-york-pension-fund-pledges-n
