MOMENTUM FOR DIVESTMENT
When: Wednesday 2nd December, 1pm – 2.30pm
Where: Paris, Le Bourget, Climate Generation Areas, Room4, Green Zone.
| “Momentum for Divestment” will feature speakers from across the global divestment movement who will speak to the growing momentum for change. In just the last year, the movement has seen a 50-fold increase in the amount of money under management (now over $2.6 trillion) that is committed to some form of divestment. Together, institutions are modeling what we need to see from governments: clear commitments to move money out of fossil fuels and into climate solutions. Speakers will include representatives from faith groups, cities, universities, foundations, and more. |
