Is your money invested in a climate-friendly way?

EUObserver published a feature in May 2015 on a growing group of people in Europe and elsewhere urging governments, universities, and pension funds to end investments in fossil fuels.

The fossil fuel divestment movement started several years ago in universities and colleges in the United States, and more recently across the Atlantic, in educational facilities in the United Kingdom.

Norway's parliament voted on 05 June 2015 to ban its pension fund from investing in coal companies.
