Becoming more informed, you will become aware of the many lifestyles changes that we can make to begin to address the climate crisis.
Make My Money Matter argued that the most impactful change we can make is to switch to a green pension provider – ie one that doesn’t fund fossil fuels. All commercial undertakings including fossil fuel exploration and extraction rely on finance and the operations of the financial sector – whether that is banking that enables the continuing day to day, week to week, and year year transactions of ongoing the business;; insurance protection for every aspect of the business; investment in expansion and new enterprises; maintaining share values and dividend payments etc. Many pension funds – as well as banks, mortgage and insurance companies – are key players in ensuring the flow of such finances.
Although Make My Money Matter closed this year, their website is, for the current year, a good source of information on pensions and banking.
Ethical Consumer is another good source of information on matter financial – subscribing enables you to access their reports in full
