California pension @calpers.bsky.social invested $60B in 'climate solutions' -- yet its overall strategy is shrouded in secrecy, writes Allie Lindstrom of @sierraclub.org & Jakob Evans of @sierraclubca.bsky.social for @calmatters.org. As the largest U.S. public pension, what CalPERS does matters.

This year, our connection nature has never faced a greater threat — from the firings of national park stewards to the efforts to sell off public lands. Here's how our Outdoors For All campaign met the moment in 2025. bit.ly/44teqzR

In 2025, while much of the financial sector backtracked on climate action, one key part of the system stepped up: public pension funds managing trillions in workers’ savings. 🏦 Here’s how our Sustainable Finance Campaign helped drive progress this year: bit.ly/3MH1q3t

"This move shows just how far the administration will go to sidestep our nation’s complex history." The Interior Department's recent decision to end free entry days at national parks on MLK Day and Juneteenth is "a step backward."

Freedom of Information Act #FOIA request uncovers documents revealing many Americans oppose the Trump administration's efforts to whitewash history on public lands. www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

👀 BlackRock just lost another ~$6B mandate after backsliding on addressing climate risk to its clients’ portfolios. NYC pension trustees meet this week and could approve the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendation to shift $42B for the same reason. 🍿

New @reclaimfinance.org report endorsed by @sierraclub.org reveals pension funds and other asset owners are failing to stop asset managers like BlackRock from supporting fossil fuel expansion.

In 2025, much of the financial sector backtracked on climate action — but one major pillar stepped up: public pensions that manage trillions in workers’ savings. 🫰 Here’s our @sierraclub.org campaign year-end review of key developments & what’s next 👇 www.sierraclub.org/articles/202...

🔥 New @reclaimfinance.org report endorsed by @sierraclub.org reveals pension funds are failing to stop their asset managers from supporting fossil fuel expansion. 🤯 30 biggest US & European AMs hold $17B in new bonds to fossil fuel developers. www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

Holly Bender recently joined her daughter on a field trip to the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. @sierraclubwi.bsky.social   It was a perfect backdrop to hand out Every Kid Outdoors passes providing a year of free entry to national parks for 4th graders & families.

Climate change threatens our economy and millions of workers' retirement security. NYC pensions can set a powerful precedent: asset managers who fail to confront climate risk should expect to lose clients to those that do better. @sierraclub.org statement ⬇️ www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

👀 If the NYC pension boards adopt the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendations and move BlackRock's $42B mandate to other asset managers, it could be one of the most consequential climate-related actions ever taken by a pension fund in the US or anywhere in the world.

Trump administration proposes massive entrance fee increases at national parks for non-residents in 2026, in a move @sierraclub.org says is simply setting parks up to become "playgrounds for the super rich." @altnps.bsky.social Full statement 👇 www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...
