Adam Pellant of Assynt Development Trust has passed on an invitation from Sally Clark, Divestment Campaigner at FoE Scotland
We have arranged a first meeting for the Fossil Free Highlands campaign next Wednesday (23rd June) at 6pm and it would be wonderful if you might be able to come along.
Adam comments that the meeting will relate to finding a route for Highland Council to meet the divestment recommendation of the Scottish Government's Just Transition Commission that "The power of public sector pension funds [...] must be directed towards ensuring companies align with the just transition to net-zero".
If you would like to join this meeting email info@transitionblackisle.org for the Zoom link.

Wednesday 23 June 7.30 - 8.15 on Zoom
From the CAT website (Centre for Alterntive Technology, Wales)
Join us for our new series of free online webinars focused on climate justice. On 23 June, environmentalist, poet, painter and CAT Graduate School guest lecturer Judy Ling Wong kicks off the series with an introduction to the movement.
The effects of the climate crisis are far reaching, but how they affect different communities globally varies greatly. Those who contribute the least to environmental damage unjustly and disproportionately suffer its harms. This injustice is a consequence of issues across social, political and ethical contexts, and it is only by considering these issues that we can address the environmental crisis successfully.
In this webinar Judy Ling Wong will offer an accessible and honest introduction to the field of climate justice. She will outline the often ignored political, ethical and social contexts to the environmental crisis, and, importantly, how they all intersect.
Judy will explore how addressing the impact of the climate crisis looks for different communities, giving examples of interventions at different levels to address inequalities. The webinar will help you form an initial picture of the climate justice movement and what it’s trying to achieve.
