Key City Panel Endorses Plan to Divest Chicago from Oil, Gas Investments – WTTW (Chicago)

Treasurer Melissa Conyears Ervin told the City Council’s Finance and Environmental Protection committees that preventing the city’s $9 billion portfolio from investing in oil and gas firms would help fight climate change — and avoid the instability that comes with those investments. “Moving away from fossil fuels is also just simply smarter investing. And I have a responsibility as treasurer to ensure a stable fiscal future for the city of Chicago.”
