Fossil Fuels and Climate Justice

Fossil fuels and climate justice. After a protracted debate on alternative recommendations for aligning the values of the PC(USA) with its investments in fossil fuels, the GA initially approved overture ENV-02 encouraging categorical divestment in fossil fuels and other efforts to respond to climate change. However, in a historic turnabout, the assembly reversed its decision, disapproving ENV-02 and approving ENV-06, which directs further engagement with greenhouse gas emitters and the fossil fuel industry.
