😲 BREAKING WIN! 🏛️
The @sciencemuseum has finally dropped Norwegian oil and gas firm @Equinor as a sponsor after it failed to align with the Paris 1.5°C target! 🙌
Now, will the museum cut ties to polluter BP and coal and arms conglomerate Adani?! 👀

Well done all at university of Westminster!! Now let’s kick fossil fuels and nuclear power out of the USS pension scheme!
🎉 Hear-ye! Hear-ye! The University of Westminster divests from all fossil fuels! 🎉
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.
And we’re not done yet! We are now calling on @UniWestminster to break ties with the border industry! Sign our petition below or get in touch if you’d like to join the campaign!

.@britishmuseum has alarmingly decided, yet again, to be on the wrong side of history through their latest sponsorship deal with @bp_plc. We stand with @drop_BP: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

The British Museum’s decision to accept a £50m sponsorship deal with BP caused concern among its trustees, who eventually agreed to accept funding from the energy company despite ethical and security misgivings, minutes of their meetings show ow.ly/6EWA50Qkp3i

Spotlight Sunday 🪔
@peopleandplanet have done incredible work this year putting pressure on universities - because of groups like P&P, almost three-quarters of UK universities have committed to divesting from fossil fuels.
Keep up the good work 🌎✊
