Is Your Healthcare Pension Aligned with Climate Safety?
Is Your Healthcare Pension Aligned with Climate Safety?
Join Shift: Action for Pension Wealth and Planet Health in a free webinar for HOOPP members hosted by the Alliance for Healthier Communities, Tuesday November 8th from 12pm-1pm. Register here.
Your pension savings can contribute to or help reduce climate change and its harmful impacts on health equity.
We all deserve a healthy environment and an ecological system that supports and sustains our health. Yet the impacts of the climate crisis are exacerbating health inequities. Migrant agricultural workers toil through heatwaves; senior citizens swelter in long-term care facilities without air conditioning; and people experiencing homelessness suffer devastating losses when heavy rains and flooding damage their possessions.
As health and community workers respond to these impacts, they’ll want to consider one often overlooked lever for climate action: how their retirement savings are invested. Is the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP) investing your retirement savings in a way that worsens the climate crisis and its inequitable impacts?
Understanding how your pension dollars are invested is part of understanding how you can take action to support ecological health equity. Join climate and finance experts from Shift: Action for Pension Wealth and Planet Health to learn:
The risks the climate crisis poses to pension funds and retirement savings
An overview of HOOPP’s approach to the climate crisis, including its investments in fossil fuels
What you can do to engage with HOOPP on the climate crisis.
Register here and join us on November 8th at 12pm for this free webinar.
