AI Summary

Sierra Club released a new analysis of public data compiled by Urgewald that examines fossil‑fuel bond holdings in 40 U.S. public pension funds. The study finds that significant amounts of fossil‑fuel debt remain embedded in these portfolios and that the available bond‑holding data are markedly incomplete. It notes that even pension funds with climate policies or emissions targets can still hold substantial exposure to companies whose activities pose systemic climate risk, endangering millions of workers’ retirement savings. The full dataset and individual pension results are accessible via an accompanying dashboard.
