In 2025, while much of the financial sector backtracked on climate action, one key part of the system stepped up: public pension funds managing trillions in workers’ savings. 🏦

The Interior Department's recent decision to end free entry days at national parks on MLK Day and Juneteenth is "a step backward."

👀 BlackRock just lost another ~$6B mandate after backsliding on addressing climate risk to its clients’ portfolios.

NYC pension trustees meet this week and could approve the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendation to shift $42B for the same reason. 🍿
PME, a Dutch pension fund overseeing about $70 billion, has severed ties with BlackRock based on an assessment that the world’s largest money manager no longer acts in its best interests on issues such as climate risk.

Climate change threatens our economy and millions of workers' retirement security.

NYC pensions can set a powerful precedent: asset managers who fail to confront climate risk should expect to lose clients to those that do better.

👀 If the NYC pension boards adopt the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendations and move BlackRock's $42B mandate to other asset managers, it could be one of the most consequential climate-related actions ever taken by a pension fund in the US or anywhere in the world.
Today I’m recommending that NYC’s pension fund boards drop BlackRock and 2 other (out of 49) public markets asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans.

Climate risk is financial risk – we need asset managers who will invest responsibly.🧵
