This morning at City Hall we welcomed London experts and representatives from 11 global cities to kick off my #DivestInvest network with @NYCMayor and @C40Cities.
Together we’re working to accelerate fossil fuel #divestment in the fight against #ClimateChange. #ZeroCarbonLondon pic.twitter.com/Sm9DmgKXg7— Mayor of London (@MayorofLondon) March 20, 2019
Great to see @c40cities mayors pushing/supporting each other to go #fossilfree & #divest from companies fuelling the devastating climate impacts being felt around the world, nowhere more than Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe today. https://t.co/geJ3OfdrAG

Huge huge huge win–Norwegian govt (an oil state) is recommending that the world's largest sovereign wealth fund Fully Divest From All Fossil Fuel. Financial Times: "this will send shockwaves through the energy sector."https://t.co/PbVWPWOZrE

BREAKING: World’s largest sovereign wealth fund — built on oil — is getting out of oil. Norway’s decision marks biggest proposed #divestment of fossil fuel stocks to date. “The goal is to make our collective wealth less vulnerable to a lasting fall in oil prices.” @Siv_Jensen_FrP https://t.co/rKTxl4xfT1

This is huge. The beginning of commitments that stigmatize any oil and gas company continuing to expand production which is inconsistent with @IPCC_CH findings of a safe climate. https://t.co/Ikd90XWNaK
— Tzeporah Berman (@Tzeporah) March 8, 2019
"The Norwegian government's decision to restrict #divestment solely to exploration and production companies is financially indefensible given that #OilMajors invest far more in both" "It represents a victory of the Oil Lobby over Financial Prudence" https://t.co/AO03rhF1tG https://t.co/SnD954hHwy

After careful study, Norwegian government recommends #divestment from oil and gas for purely financial reasons. Largest sovereign wealth fund in the world sees the writing on the wall. NYS should #divestnow or our retirees will be left holding the bag.https://t.co/5tebiseoTB

I am sure there will be caveats with the Norway divestment announcement, but this is still a huge signal that carbon bubble analysis has top investors worried. It's a simply unimaginable move even three years ago.
