We've looked at the fossil fuel holdings of over 7,500 institutional investors worldwide: pension funds, insurance companies, asset managers, hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowment funds and asset management arms of commercial banks. 👉 We discovered that $4 trillion of the identified institutional investments are in 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐥 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬. A speedy phase-out of fossil fuels is our only hope of avoiding tipping points that lead to an unmanageable climate breakdown. If institutional investors continue backing companies that are still expanding their coal, oil and gas operations, it will be impossible to phase out fossil fuels in time.

European institutional investors collectively hold $554 billion in stocks and bonds of fossil fuel companies and account for ~ 13% of total investments in fossil fuels. Europe’s largest fossil fuel investor is the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global (Norges Bank Investment Management) with investments of over $70 billion in the largest fossil fuel expansionists like Shell, ExxonMobil, TotalEnergies.
