ontario teachers pension plan

With no clear definition for what net-zero means or how it will alter investment decisions, the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan commitment runs the risk of becoming a cynical example of greenwashing, write Patrick DeRochie and Adam Scott.

In a four-minute YouTube video, a group of students from across Ontario read a letter to their teachers, asking them to push the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan to stop investing their retirement savings in oil, gas, coal, and pipeline companies.  

“We need to stop thinking about it only in terms of dollars and cents right now. We need to think about the future,” Kingston teacher Andrea Loken tells National Observer.
