Church of England Divestment from Thermal Coal and Tar Sands

On Thursday 30 April 2015, the Church Commissioners and the Church of England Pensions Board announced the £12 million divestment from thermal coal and tar sands.

To coincide with this, Richard featured in a short film alongside Edward Mason, Head of Responsible Investment at the Church Commissioners, and discussed the new climate change policy from a theological, investment decision-making and engagement perspective.
