Fossil Fuel Divestment Movement

The Fossil Fuel Divestment Movement is a campaign encouraging individuals, organizations, and institutions to withdraw investments from fossil fuel companies, such as oil, coal, and gas. The goal is to combat climate change and promote sustainable energy. Advocates believe that by removing financial support from these industries, society can pressure them to change their practices, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and accelerate the transition to renewable energy. This movement has gained traction globally, with universities, pension funds, and churches taking a stand to align their investments with environmental values and social responsibility.
