Did you know that the #StrathclydePensionFund invests an estimated £836 million in some of the world's biggest #FossilFuel polluters, including BP, Shell & Equinor? 🔥
Please contact your councillors to tell Strathclyde Pension Fund to #DivestFromCrisis: act.foe.scot/urge-your-local…

FoES @FoEScot are at @ScotParl calling in the Scottish government to agree to the global fossil fuel non proliferation treaty with @globaljusticesc

It was brilliant to be at the Scottish Parliament yesterday to call for Scotland to back the Fossil Fuel Treaty! 🙌🏽
The treaty would help bring a just transition that leaves no country, worker or community behind.

BREAKING 🚨: The UK Government has admitted in court that approving Rosebank without taking into account the full extent of its climate impacts was unlawful.
Now our court case is a straight up fight between us and the oil and gas industry.

🚨REVEALED: there are 1,770+ fossil fuel lobbyists at #COP29.
Year after year, the industry most responsible for climate breakdown swarms the UN climate talks and disrupts meaningful change. For a liveable future, we must #KickBigPollutersOut of COP.

And now we wait…
Today marks the end of our hearing against the approval of the Rosebank oil field in the Scottish courts - but it’s not over yet.
Whilst we wait for a verdict, it’s vital that we keep up the pressure.
