荷兰五家最大的养老基金表示，他们 愿意向该国的可再生能源行业和电网投资 数十亿美元。这些基金的资产总额为 9000 亿欧元（9750 亿美元），为国家电网扩建和可持续供暖项目提供财务和专业知识方面的帮助。

“我们希望产生更大的影响，我们可以而且希望对荷兰能源转型进行更多投资，”这些基金在致该国寻求组建下一届政府的政党的一封信中表示。

全球养老基金越来越多地参与清洁能源转型，并经常反对化石燃料行业。

四年前，纽约市市长比尔·白思豪 (Bill de Blasio) 和前审计长斯科特·M·斯金格 (Scott M. Stringer) 宣布 ，该市 2260 亿美元的养老基金将剥离大部分化石燃料投资，并切断与其他一直为化石燃料投资做出贡献的公司的联系。全球暖化。

纽约州官员尚未最终决定是否出售其对美国主要石油和天然气公司（包括 埃克森美孚公司）的 10 亿美元投资。 （纽约证券交易所代码：XOM）和 雪佛龙公司 （纽约证券交易所代码：CVX）这可能是养老基金最大的撤资行动之一。该基金已经出售了大部分煤炭和加拿大油砂资产，但仍持有 美国第二大煤炭生产商Arch Resources  （纽约证券交易所股票代码：ARCH）的 150 万美元投资。

去年，挪威最大的养老金管理公司KLP 因侵犯人权而将在阿联酋、沙特阿拉伯、卡塔尔和科威特上市的海湾公司 列入黑名单 ，并因气候风险而从沙特阿美公司撤资

与此同时，去年，挪威庞大的主权财富基金 支持 埃克森美孚和雪佛龙股东在年度股东大会上提出的引入排放目标的提案。 

挪威的财富基金拥有1.4万亿美元的资产，是全球最大的财富基金，也是埃克森美孚第六大投资者，持有埃克森美孚近1.2%的股份。

The Netherlands’ five largest pension funds have said they are willing to invest billions in the country’s renewable energy sector and the electricity grid. The funds, with a combined 900 billion euros ($975 billion) in assets, have offered to help with finances and expertise in the nation’s electric grid expansion and sustainable heating projects.

“We want to make a bigger impact, we can and want to invest more in the Dutch energy transition,” the funds said in a letter addressed to the country’s political parties looking to form the next government.

Pension funds across the globe are becoming increasingly engaged in the clean energy transition and frequently oppose the fossil fuel sector.

Four years ago, New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio and former Comptroller Scott M. Stringer announced that the city’s $226B pension fund would divest the majority of its fossil fuel investments and cut ties with other companies that have been contributing to global warming.

New York State officials are yet to make a final decision whether to sell their $1 billion in investments in major U.S. oil and gas companies, including Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:CVX) in what could be one of the biggest divestment drives by a pension fund. The fund has already sold off most assets in coal and Canada’s oil sands, although it still holds its  $1.5 million investment in Arch Resources (NYSE:ARCH), the second largest U.S. coal producer.

Last year, Norway’s largest pensions manager, KLP,  blacklisted Gulf companies listed in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait due to  human rights violations and also divested from Saudi Aramco due to climate risks

Meanwhile, last year, Norway’s giant sovereign wealth fund supported proposals by ExxonMobil and Chevron shareholders at their annual general meeting to introduce emissions targets.

With $1.4 trillion in assets, Norway’s wealth fund is the largest in the world, and the sixth-largest investor in Exxon with a nearly 1.2% stake.
