Milestones

The UK Gov should enshrine in law that all public sector funds (e.g. local government pensions or investment funds) do not support the fossil fuel industries. They should be immediately divested.

Investment in fossil fuel should be prohibited. Example for reference: Ireland's Fossil Fuel Divestment Act 2018.
