WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 El Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley present\u00f3 hoy el Ley de Inversiones para la Jubilaci\u00f3n para una Econom\u00eda Sostenible (RISE) de 2019<\/i>, que brinda a los empleados federales la capacidad de desinvertir en la industria de los combustibles f\u00f3siles (y reducir la responsabilidad financiera de las p\u00e9rdidas de activos de combustibles f\u00f3siles) al ofrecer una opci\u00f3n de inversi\u00f3n Climate Choice para el Thrift Savings Plan (TSP).<\/p>\n

\n

"Los estadounidenses est\u00e1n viendo c\u00f3mo la creciente crisis clim\u00e1tica provoca incendios forestales catastr\u00f3ficos, tormentas y huracanes mortales y sequ\u00edas devastadoras, y mucha gente no quiere esperar a que estos riesgos aumenten", dijo Merkley.<\/b> \u201cSi la gente quiere sacar su dinero de la industria que genera el caos clim\u00e1tico, deber\u00edan poder hacerlo. Es hora de que el Congreso otorgue a millones de empleados federales el poder de garantizar que sus fondos de jubilaci\u00f3n se inviertan en una cartera socialmente responsable, menos riesgosa y m\u00e1s sostenible\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

En los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, el movimiento de desinversi\u00f3n en combustibles f\u00f3siles se ha expandido r\u00e1pidamente en todo el mundo. En enero de 2018, los funcionarios de la ciudad de Nueva York establecieron el objetivo de desinvertir los $189 mil millones de Nueva York en fondos de pensiones de compa\u00f1\u00edas de combustibles f\u00f3siles en un plazo de cinco a\u00f1os. En julio de 2018, Irlanda se convirti\u00f3 en el primer pa\u00eds del mundo en desinvertir totalmente en combustibles f\u00f3siles. A nivel mundial, m\u00e1s de 1.000 instituciones han desinvertido casi $6,25 billones de combustibles f\u00f3siles, y aproximadamente 60.000 personas han desinvertido m\u00e1s de $5 mil millones.<\/p>\n

\n

"Cuando los empleados federales ahorran para su futuro, no deber\u00edan verse obligados a apoyar a la industria de los combustibles f\u00f3siles y alimentar la crisis clim\u00e1tica en el proceso". dijo el director legislativo asociado del Sierra Club, Matthew Gravatt.<\/b> "El Sierra Club aplaude al senador Merkley por su liderazgo al brindar a los trabajadores m\u00e1s flexibilidad para alinear sus inversiones con sus valores".<\/p>\n

\u201cLa desinversi\u00f3n en combustibles f\u00f3siles es una herramienta esencial en la lucha contra el cambio clim\u00e1tico, y socava el poder pol\u00edtico y financiero de una industria empe\u00f1ada en llevarnos a superar puntos de inflexi\u00f3n sin retorno. Pero la desinversi\u00f3n no es s\u00f3lo una elecci\u00f3n moral, es una decisi\u00f3n financiera prudente y coherente con el deber fiduciario\u201d. dijo la directora de Divest Invest, Clara Vondrich.<\/b> \u201cLas reservas de combustibles f\u00f3siles tienen un rendimiento deficiente y son vol\u00e1tiles, una apuesta cada vez m\u00e1s arriesgada. La Ley RISE brindar\u00e1 a los trabajadores federales la oportunidad de proteger sus pensiones contra la inminente burbuja de carbono, y al mismo tiempo proteger el planeta\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Los estudios han demostrado que las carteras sin combustibles f\u00f3siles han superado a aquellas con combustibles f\u00f3siles en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os. <\/b>Por eso, en abril de 2019, la senadora Merkley y la senadora Maggie Hassan (D-NH) escribi\u00f3 una carta a la Oficina de Responsabilidad Gubernamental de EE. UU. (GAO) para examinar los riesgos para los trabajadores federales de continuar con las inversiones en combustibles f\u00f3siles <\/a>a medida que el caos clim\u00e1tico contin\u00faa intensific\u00e1ndose.<\/p>\n

La Ley RISE crear\u00eda una opci\u00f3n sobre acciones de Elecci\u00f3n Clim\u00e1tica en el marco del TSP que estar\u00eda libre de inversiones en empresas de combustibles f\u00f3siles. Si bien el TSP, el equivalente a un 401(k) para empleados federales, actualmente ofrece a los inversionistas opciones para el monto y la asignaci\u00f3n de riesgos de sus cuentas TSP, no ofrece a los empleados federales ning\u00fan control sobre los tipos de industrias en las que se invierte su dinero. .<\/p>\n

Crear una opci\u00f3n libre de combustibles f\u00f3siles no solo permitir\u00eda a los participantes del TSP la capacidad de alinear sus inversiones para la jubilaci\u00f3n con sus valores; Tambi\u00e9n podr\u00eda ayudar a los participantes a mitigar sus propios riesgos financieros. A medida que crece la amenaza clim\u00e1tica y cada vez m\u00e1s partes del mundo hacen la transici\u00f3n hacia energ\u00edas limpias y renovables, tener acciones en empresas de combustibles f\u00f3siles puede arriesgar p\u00e9rdidas cada vez mayores para los inversores.<\/p>\n

A diciembre de 2018, el TSP tiene aproximadamente 5,5 millones de participantes con aproximadamente $558 mil millones en activos y es el plan de contribuci\u00f3n definida m\u00e1s grande del mundo.<\/p>\n
