Protesters said they are aiming to 'highlight the flawed climate risk models used by pension funds and to call on the funds to stop investing in fossil fuels'.
Climate activists danced to Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees as part of a protest outside a pensions conference in the Scottish capital. Campaigners from Extinction Rebellion Scotland, Divest Lothian and Global Justice Now Scotland joined forces for the demonstration outside the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on Wednesday. The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association is currently hosting a three-day investment conference at the venue.
Earlier this month, PFZW - the second largest pension fund in the Netherlands - said it had stopped investing in oil and gas companies that are not aligned with the Paris Agreement.
