That, in light of the coronavirus crisis, the Leader of the Council, on behalf of Cabinet writes to the Pensions Committee of East Sussex County Council asking it to:

(1) Immediately freeze any new investment in the top 200 publicly traded fossil fuel companies;

(2) Ask all fossil fuel companies in which the pension fund holds investments for a firm commitment to entirely decarbonise by 2030;

(3) Commit itself, over the course of the next 4 years, to divest the East Sussex Pension Fund from any investments in companies that do not provide that commitment by March 2021.
