🌍 We need a rapid investment in real green technologies.
🕛 We are running out of precious time. We've wasted years.
☀️🌊Solar, wind, geothermal & water all proven ways of creating the power we need.
📜All we need is Govts globally to regulate & unlock green energy potential

You probably won’t have learnt at school that systemic racism, the British Empire and climate change are all linked…

Two steps forward, one step back: the @wellcometrust finally divests from oil 🥳 but claims it’s nothing to do with pressure from campaigners like @Medact and @guardian and praises the oil companies on climate. 🤦🏻♀️ What a missed opportunity to show genuine leadership.
Damian Carrington@dpcarrington
In 2015, a @guardian campaign asked @wellcometrust to divest from fossil fuels Now, very quietly, it has sold its stakes in large oil and mining companies, but claims the move is not due to companies' impact on #climatecrisis #divest theguardian.com/environment/20…

Welcome news from the Wellcome Trust - though for some reason they don't want anyone to know they've U-turned and are divesting from fossil fuels after nearly a decade of pressure.
Congrats to @Health4GND @350 @fossilfreeLDN @UKDivest and everyone who's kept up the fight!
Health for a Green New Deal@Health4GND
This is HUGE news! After years of pressure, the Wellcome Trust will finally stop investing in big fossil fuel companies like BP, Shell, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto. BUT, the story is sadly not over… 👇 amp.theguardian.com/environment/20…

In recent years, the UK health community has shown remarkable courage on climate change with unions and royal colleges refusing to continue investing in fossil fuels. Not a single penny!
It’s time for Wellcome to follow their example. Health justice MEANS climate justice.

To show true leadership on the climate crisis, Wellcome must commit to FULL divestment.
It is morally unjustifiable for such a big and influential health institution to be profiting from ecological destruction, no matter the amount of money involved.

Good news this morning. After years of resisting demands from climate activists, @wellcometrust FINALLY moves to divest from harmful fossil fuel companies.
Well done to everyone who has pushed for this, even if they say it is “market driven” 🙄 Today we celebrate 🎉
