This was despite the authority s climate emergency declaration in 2019, which set out measures to deliver net zero emissions across its functions by 2040.  According to the report, Hackney Council has almost £35m invested in coal, oil and gas companies including BP, Shell, BHP and ExxonMobile, through its management of the Hackney Council Pension Fund.
