Scottish money is fuelling the climate crisis.
Divestment is about freeing our communities, institutions and government from the power of fossil fuel polluters.

In 2018 Ireland became the first country to divest from fossil fuels and in 2020 the Welsh Parliament divested. As Scotland prepares to host the UN climate talks ask your future MSPs to stand up for justice and support an end to investment in climate polluters.
