TALK:

The Fossil Fuel Divestment Movement: History, Successes and Lessons for Future Action

Green Foundation Ireland and The Bray Heads U3A Group invite you to participate in the above online talk by Louise Fitzgerald from 10:30 to 12:30 on Thursday15 October 2020.

Louise is researcher and environmental justice campaigner.

As always at our events, an important part will be the Q&A session which will allow full participation by those attending.

THEME

In this talk, Louise will give an overview of the fossil fuel divestment movement, one of the most successful global environmental campaigns in recent decades. She will share her own personal experiences of being involved in the movement, as an active member of the Berlin divestment group. That campaign resulted in the Berlin parliament divesting its €750 million pension fund from fossil fuel companies and was one of the first big European divestment successes. Based on these experiences, Louise will reflect on the broader successes of the movement, and what potential lessons we can draw from this in facilitating action on climate, ecological, and justice issues.
