A CAMPAIGN has been launched aimed at reducing investment in fossil fuels.
Members of the Reading Area Green Christians wants people to write to the Berkshire Pension Fund Advisory Panel, urging them to take action.
It follows on from pledges made at last year’s COP26 conference, chaired by Reading West MP Alok Sharma.
The group says oneof the ways to limit global warming is to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
They argue that the Berkshire Pension Fund has £27 million invested in companies extracting fossil fuels, despite local authorities declaring a climate emergency.
The panel overseeing the pension fund are from local authorities. Reading Borough Council leader Cllr Jason Brock is the local representative.
The group has produced postcards and a template letter that could be sent.
