Shift BC Public Pensions on Climate

The climate crisis is devastating BC, with wildfires, floods, and heatwaves destroying communities and livelihoods. While the BC government works to combat climate change, the British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) continues to invest in fossil fuels, fueling the crisis.

BCI manages $250.4 billion in public sector pensions, and their investment choices impact how quickly we can transition to a zero-emissions economy. Though BCI has taken steps towards climate action, they must do more. It's time for BCI to align with climate targets and invest in a safe future for all.

Tell BCI to protect your pension and the planet.
