Tell HOOPP to Protect Your Pension and the Planet

Send a letter to HOOPP’s fund managers and your union leaders.

The climate crisis is already harming the health of millions in Canada and around the world. Heatwaves and wildfires exacerbate illnesses, cause adverse mental health impacts, and result in deaths. The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change named climate change the biggest global health threat of the 21st century.

In a warming world, your pension fund’s investment decisions matter. HOOPP manages over $112 billion in healthcare workers’ retirement savings. HOOPP’s investments can have a huge impact on how quickly we can build a zero-emissions economy and rein in devastating health impacts. The decisions of pension funds like HOOPP influence whether businesses in Canada and other countries build electric cars and solar panels, or diesel engines and gas pipelines.

HOOPP has a long way to go in its approach to climate change, and it continues to invest in climate breakdown. HOOPP’s inaugural climate strategy, released in 2023, is a step in the right direction, but leading funds have gone much further than HOOPP in understanding and protecting pensions from the financial risks of climate change.

HOOPP must do more.     

Your retirement savings can help ensure a safe climate and livable planet for you, all healthcare workers, and the people you care for every day.   

Tell HOOPP to protect your pension and the planet.
