<P>Hi,</P>
<P>Over 40 faith institutions from 14 countries announce their divestment from
fossil fuels* early this week. This is the largest-ever joint fossil fuel
divestment announcement by faith institutions.</P>
<P><STRONG>Let’s seize the opportunity to build on this moment – <A

<P>As governments around the world make substantial investments in an economic
recovery from coronavirus, these faith communities urge them to focus on a
low-carbon recovery from the pandemic that centers justice.</P>
<P><STRONG>To date, over 350 of the 1,400 divestment commitments worldwide come
from faith institutions. </STRONG>Their action today puts pressure on
governments around the world to enact policies that will lead to a comprehensive
and resilient recovery. </P>
<P>This is a clear signal to the rest of the world that any future investments
or stimulus funds must reject fossil fuels and provide long-term structural
emissions reductions. <STRONG>The solutions to the economic crisis are the
solutions to the climate crisis.</STRONG></P>
<P>It’s high time for governments to accelerate the transition needed towards a
100% renewable energy future. Any financial intervention must put people and
their livelihoods at its core.</P>
