SUMMARY:Divestment 101 Webinar
DESCRIPTION:About this talk\n \nLooking for new ways to take climate action? We all know that money talks, and this webinar, presented by Adam Scott of Shift: Action for Pension Wealth and Planet Health,  ( https://www.shiftaction.ca/ )Matt Price of For Our Kids ( https://www.forourkids.ca/ ), and Matthew Lie-Paehlke of Climate Pledge Collective ( https://climatepledgecollective.org/ ), explores why engaging with pension funds and banks might be one of our most powerful tools for demanding change.\nAll working Canadians are a member of at least one of the top 10 funds that invest more than $1.6 trillion of Canadians retirement savings. Many also have mortgages, RRSPs, or are clients of a major Canadian bank. How these banks and pensions invest our hard-earned wealth is a major factor in how quickly we can transition to a low-carbon economy.
