South Lanarkshire Council is to write to Strathclyde Pension Fund calling on it to divest from fossil fuels.
This follows the approval of a successful motion put forward by Green Party councillor Kristen Robb ( East Kilbride East), who made a plea to councillors to call for South Lanarkshire’s money to be invested in positive change and not contribute to the climate crisis.
The motion was supported by a majority of councillors, who agreed that the council should write to Strathclyde Pension Fund to divest from fossil fuels as soon as possible.
