We are so excited to see this victory bolster London-based university commitments to Fossil Free! Over half have now rejected investments in the fossil fuel industry. A vital act of solidarity with communities on the frontlines of both the fossil fuel industry’s destructive extraction practices and those experiencing the impacts of the climate crisis first and worst.
