👀 If the NYC pension boards adopt the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendations and move BlackRock's $42B mandate to other asset managers, it could be one of the most consequential climate-related actions ever taken by a pension fund in the US or anywhere in the world.
Today I’m recommending that NYC’s pension fund boards drop BlackRock and 2 other (out of 49) public markets asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans.

Climate risk is financial risk – we need asset managers who will invest responsibly.🧵

Since 2016, banks have directly financed over $15 billion to Amazon oil and gas industry, with just 10 banks accounting for almost 75% of the direct financing. Now Petrobras is moving to drill even further in the mouth of the Amazon River, enabled by big banks.

Super good column in Bloomberg on the various soft propaganda ways that Big Oil shapes the cultural narrative on fossil fuels into something both manly and deeply romantic in a working class hero way as opposed to, you know, the thing that kills 91,000 Americans a year from air pollution alone.

14% of Americans (46.6 million people) live within one mile of at least one piece of fossil fuel infrastructure across all stages of the supply chain.

This proximity is known to cause health harms.
