Webinar -Move the Nuclear Weapons (and Fossil Fuel) Money
Event Date: 21st April 2020
Location: Webinar
Dear Southern Region CND,
We cordially remind you of the global webinar on Tuesday April 21 on
Move the Nuclear Weapons (and fossil fuel) Money.
The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the need for governments and the international community to focus more on human security issues and to shift resources from military spending, especially the nuclear weapons budgets, to accomplish this. However, the nuclear weapons and fossil fuel industries have vested financial interests in maintaining the nuclear arms race and a fossil fuel economy. They are potent political forces preventing change.
Governments, cities, religious communities, universities, banks and private investors can shift financial incentives by divesting from the nuclear weapons and fossil fuel industries and re-allocating these investments to support peace, public health, renewable energy and sustainable development.
This webinar will highlight public campaigns and legislative efforts to cut nuclear weapons budgets, along with examples of nuclear weapons and fossil fuel divestment at multiple levels.
Webinar presenters include investment managers, legislators, campaigners and others who have achieved nuclear weapons and fossil fuel divestment policies. It is being held in conjunction with Earth Day 2020 and the Global Days of Action on Military Spending.
