Meet Teresa from Vermillion, #Alberta.

Teresa’s story is but one of thousands from Alberta landowners living with the fallout of leaking oil and gas wells and a #regulator that won’t protect them.

👀 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.🧵
