Cities Today: Oslo becomes first capital city to shun fossil fuel companies
Norway’s capital city Oslo announced plans to divest its US$9 billion pension fund from coal, oil and gas companies as did 19 French cities and others from around the world.
The divestment bandwagon sprung to life at COP21 as campaign group 350.org announced the divestment plans of the cities and an array of other institutions ranging from Europe’s largest pension fund Allianz to the London School of Economics.
