divestment

Last week, we submitted our resignations as elected faculty representatives to the Board of Governors of McGill University. Our years of experience on the board suggest to us that it will most likely reject a recent resolution by the McGill Senate in support of divestment of the university’s endowment fund from fossil fuel companies. Such a decision would be unconscionable...

A major French bank has joined a growing group of international businesses, schools and financial institutions that have pledged to go fossil fuel-free with their investments.

Inspired by the success of the divestment movement against apartheid in the 1980s, students are campaigning for fossil fuel divestment.
