CfC partnered with Fossil Free NI to create the Fossil Free campaign. The campaign emerged from the Linking Networks initiative and unites nearly 30 grassroots groups under a common purpose. The common purpose of the campaign is:
Divest: To seek that the Local Government Pension Scheme or NILGOSC stop investing in dirty and extractive industries such as oil, gas and mining;
Invest: To encourage NILGOSC to invest in projects that are environmentally, socially and economically valuable and that can take us towards a just transition. These alternative investments might be in Community Wealth Building, a local Green New Deal, etc.
The activist groups involved in the campaign are:
Fossil Free NI | Ecojustice Ireland CIC | The Gathering Collaboration for Change | Extinction Rebellion | Trademark Belfast | Friends of the Earth | An Ait Eíle | Zero Waste Northwest | Ground-up Community Wealth Building | Cultivate | Belfast Food Network | Solidarity Network | Eden Project | Co-operative Alternatives | Social Farms and Gardens Network | Wellbeing Economy Alliance WEALL | Practice and Participation of Rights PPR | Talamh Beo | Rural Community Network | NI Environment Link | Ecojustice Legal Action Centre | Climate Craic | UBI Lab | Compassionate Campaigning | Unite Community Climate Justice Branch.
