Скачать или смотреть No More Excuses - University of Cambridge Divestment Campaign

Extinction Rebellion Cambridge and Extinction Rebellion Cambridge Youth are launching a divestment campaign to put pressure on The University of Cambridge to divest and cut its ties to the fossil fuel industry.

The University and its colleges still invest approximately 6.4% of their endowment funds in fossil fuel companies - at the last valuation we have access to, this was over £400 million. In addition, they carry out research enabling the industry to drill for more oil in environmentally sensitive areas such as the Arctic, give them social licence by naming many buildings, scholarships, professorships, and awards after them, and even allow Schlumberger, the world's largest oilfield services company, to occupy a huge research laboratory on their West Cambridge Site. It is clear that the University is in thrall to the very industry that is destroying our planet.

Our demands will be live on our website on the 11th of July at https://xrcambridge.org/university-de....
