Church of England plans to disinvest from fossil fuels this year

LONDON (Reuters) - Church of England Pensions Board and the Church Commissioners will independently disinvest from fossil fuels this year, the Church of England said on Thursday.

"The Church will follow not just the science, but our faith - both of which call us to work for climate justice," Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, said in the statement.
