Next TransitieCinema (https://www.facebook.com/TransitieCinema/) about “Fossil Free” (Fossielvrij NL (https://www.facebook.com/FossielvrijNL/)) will be on the 15th of January!

We will kick off the new year with what might be the most important topic of 2016: tackling the Carbon Bubble. With the success of the COP21 (https://www.facebook.com/COP21fr/) in Paris, where a global agreement was negotiated between countries to reduce climate change, it is now time to act accordingly!

Implied is that part of our fossil fuels reserves cannot be burnt in the foreseeable future, to meet our climate goals. This has several implications throughout our society and economy. E.g. part of your pension fund is probably invested in oil and gas companies, but their valuation is based on being able to sell all of their fossil fuel assets. But if they can't sell all their assets, their stock might plummet and your pension will take a loss. Fossil Free urges investors like pension funds to handle in accordance with a sustainable future, both environmental as financial and to disinvest as fast as possible from fossil fuels.

Admission is for free. The doors of Het Nutshuis (https://www.facebook.com/hetnutshuis/) open at 19.00, the movie starts at 19.30. Please note that during the movie the doors will be closed, so make sure to be there BEFORE 19.30 or you won't be able to enter.

TransitieCinema is organised in cooperation with Duurzaam Den Haag (https://www.facebook.com/duurzaamdenhaag.nl/).
