The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board has made 5 major investments in fossil fuel infrastructure this year alone, money that could have been used to propel us toward a safer, zero-carbon future built on renewable energy.
The CPPIB is responsible for the retirement savings of over 22 million Canadians, who are contributing to their pensions in the hopes of a happy, healthy retirement one day.
While the CPPIB's purpose is to "help provide a foundation on which Canadians build financial security in retirement," the board's continued investment in oil and gas is increasingly putting our retirement at risk by driving the climate crisis and putting our money toward an industry with no long-term future.
Let's tell our pension -- stop using our money to invest in fossil fuels, and start investing in a climate-safe, equitable future for our kids now!
