About Us
Community Sector Climate Action is a group of social workers and their supporters. We are ordinary people who day to day work for those facing disadvantage. We are outraged that super funds like Hesta undermine the social justice values we work for. They continue to invest in expanding fossil fuels, while disadvantaged people are on the front lines of climate impacts.
People from other funds and other sectors are welcome to join us because nearly all super funds back these same companies.(Market Forces: “Out on Line Out of Time” Report).
