Operation Noah hopes to save the world from climate catastrophe by encouraging divestment from fossil fuel companies.
is an ecumenical Christian charity, founded in 2004. It is based in the UK and campaigns exclusively on climate change, encouraging divestment from the fossil fuel industry. Trustees come from the Catholic, Anglican, and free churches.
Since 2014, more than 1,500 institutions from all sectors, with combined assets of over $40 trillion, have now made some form of divestment commitment worldwide. In June, the World Council of Churches called for “climate-responsible finance in the affairs of all members” by ensuring “through our pension funds, banks and other financial service arrangements we are not complicit in financing climate-destroying fossil fuel industries.” The Vatican has also recommended that investors divest from fossil fuel companies.
“Oil companies promise vast profits and prosperity, but the reality is that they leave pollution and political upheaval,” the Revd Dr Rachel Mash, environmental coordinator of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, said.
