An environmental campaign group has called on Fife Council to divest from fossil fuel companies that are costing its future pensioners hundreds of thousands of pounds every year. Friends of the Earth Scotland (FoES) says Fife is among 20 local authorities in Scotland that has declared a climate emergency but continues to invest in what it calls “planet-wrecking” firms. A report written by the environment body and investment monitor Platform warns that authorities are exposing their pension funds to unnecessary financial risk by continuing to support fossil fuel bodies. The council declared a climate emergency in September 2019, committing itself to being carbon neutral by 2045. But it continues to rely on fossil fuels for almost three per cent of its total pension fund value.

It was by John Paul II who addressed an estimated 300,000 worshippers at Bellahouston Park in 1982.
A spokesman for the Scottish Catholic Church said about the visit: “Scotland’s Catholic bishops would warmly welcome his presence, however briefly, in this country.”
