In September, RNAO sent a letter to the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP), which represents nurses and other workers in the hospital and community   sectors, urging that it immediately stop any new investments in fossil fuels and divest all its holdings by 2025. This is a must to ensure pension investments focus on a just and sustainable future, not climate disruption. In the letter, RNAO CEO Dr. Doris Grinspun and President Dr. Claudette Holloway applauded HOOPP’s commitment to put $23 billion into accredited green investments by 2030, but said the fossil fuel shares it holds are at “at odds with RNAO members’ professional values and our commitment to serve the public as the first mandate of health professionals is ‘do no harm.’” In a radio interview (The Energy Mix, Nov. 20), Grinspun said that HOOPP is a “tragically literal example of investing in one’s own demise.” Earlier that same month, RNAO President Dr. Claudette Holloway and President-Elect Lhamo Dolkar attended the March to End Fossil Fuels in Toronto. RNAO continues to call on the provincial and federal governments to put forth a science-based plan to respond to the climate emergency. Sign RNAO’s Action Alert.
