🗓️ Final reminder: our webinar Widening Divide: Canadian Pensions at a Crossroads on Climate Leadership is tomorrow (12-1pm ET).

📉 Looking for some ideas to ask about CPPIB’s approach to climate risks and investments in oil, gas, coal and pipelines? Check out our CPPIB Sample Questions and Climate Action Toolkit to get started. #cdnpoli drive.google.com/file/d/1SDJC...

🙋🏽‍♀️ With discussion ongoing about Alberta’s future in the CPP, public engagement matters more than ever. Showing up in person is one way to defend a strong, unified CPP – and to insist that CPPIB protects our retirement security amidst a worsening climate crisis and accelerating energy transition.

THIS WEEK, CPPIB is hosting public meetings in Calgary and Edmonton.

This is a rare opportunity for you to ask CPPIB about its inadequate climate strategy and risky fossil fuels investments.
Register for the meetings here. #cdnpoli #ableg

The deep flaws in OTPP’s new climate strategy undermine many of the positive and credible signs of progress in OTPP’s approach. Shift is concerned that OTPP will not adequately manage the fund’s exposure to #climaterisks.

Read our statement for the details. www.shiftaction.ca/news/2026/02...

As the chair of the IPCC said last week, #netzero isn’t a political choice, but the only option available to face the unrelenting physical reality of climate change. The leadership of major pension funds like OTPP needs to question if they fully understand the gravity of the #climatecrisis.

The new climate strategy released today by the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) misses the mark. It has major blind spots which could lead to serious consequences for the retirement security of working and retired Ontario teachers. #onpoli #onted #ONclimate www.shiftaction.ca/news/2026/02...

Your pension savings are at risk – and climate change is already reshaping the economy. Some funds are stepping up, others are falling behind. Where does your pension stand?

Facing climate risk litigation, CPPIB made at least $6 billion in new fossil fuel investments in 2025 — Shift - Protect Your Pension and the Planet Facing landmark climate risk litigation, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments, or CPPIB) made at least $6 billion* in new bets on fossil fuel assets in the 2025 calendar year.

Such investments risk becoming stranded assets in a decarbonizing world, or prolong the use of fossil fuels in ways that accelerate the climate crisis. Both outcomes threaten the financial sustainability of the Canada Pension Plan.

Shift is not aware of any other Maple 8 fund making a direct investment in private fossil fuel companies since 2024.

In comparison, Shift estimates that CPPIB made at least $3.3 billion in new fossil fuel investments in 2024.

New fossil fuel investments expose CPPIB and its more than 22 million Canadian beneficiaries to unacceptable levels of climate-related financial risk.

CPPIB appears to be an outlier in the Canadian pension sector when it comes to making new investments in private fossil fuel assets.

Facing landmark climate risk litigation, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments, or CPPIB) made at least $6 billion* in new bets on fossil fuel assets in the 2025 calendar year.

Today, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments or CPPIB) released its Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 results.

The quarterly results show that CPPIB made nearly $2 billion in fossil fuel investments between October 1 and December 31, 2025.

The divide is clear: some funds are pulling ahead, others are falling behind at a moment when alignment with long-term fiduciary duty becomes increasingly tied to climate alignment.

OPSEU Pension Trust (OPTrust) met its 2025 climate goals and recommitted to net-zero by 2050, but its climate plan requires updating.

HOOPP (Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan) continues to implement its climate plan, but discloses little.

The British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) has no net-zero commitment and has not updated its climate plan since 2022.

The Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) saw its score fall in four areas in 2025. PSP still has no net-zero commitment and no climate targets beyond 2026.

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments or CPPIB) fell to a D grade after abandoning its net-zero target, continues expanding fossil fuel investments, and is now facing a lawsuit over climate risk management.
