“As a state and a city that knows climate change’s ravages first hand, New Jersey and Jersey City should be leaders on fossil fuel divestment. The time for half measures on climate is over,” Solomon said in a statement.
“The state should sell their current investments in fossil fuels. Rules should be established to prevent any future investment in corporations that poison the earth.”
The measure, which was prepared in partnering with Divest NJ, will call for the New Jersey State Legislature, the New Jersey State Investment Council, and the Pension Committee for the Employees’ Retirement System of Jersey City to divest from current fossil fuel investments and ban future investments in corporations who profit off climate pollution.
