Planet vs. Pensions: New York's Battle Over Divestment

  • Summary

  • Can pension fund divestment help combat climate change? New York City and State are in the midst of a debate over that question. Pensioners worry divestment could harm their returns, while climate activists believe divestment will put the fund ahead of the curve. In this episode of WFUV's Prickly Politics, we talk with Assistant Speaker of the New York State Assembly Felix Ortiz, who authored the Fossil Fuels Divestment Act, about why he believes this is the next phase of climate policy. We also talk with climate activist Cata Romo from 350.org and Politico reporter Danielle Muoio. WFUV's Natalie Migliore joins as guest co-host.
