@unibirmingham divest from fossil fuels. As long as UoB money is in fossil fuels companies, we are supporting an industry on a lobbying agenda against climate action @FossilFreeUoB

[Unearthed @UE]

REVEALED: How Exxon held back climate action for decades, and is still doing it today. We went undercover with Exxon’s lobbyists to expose the truth. Watch and share.

“Species extinction, more widespread disease, unliveable heat, ecosystem collapse, cities menaced by rising seas — these & other devastating climate impacts are accelerating & bound to become painfully obvious before a child born today turns 30.”

We’re proud to be backing calls for ministers of the G20 to integrate climate issues throughout every part of education

From schools through to colleges and universities, education is key to overcoming this crisis

#PrideMonth2021

University of Birmingham students, past and present celebrating LGBTQ+ Rights at Pride!

Never did we expect to be arrested, never did expect to face tear gas and police brutality simply for celebrating LGBTQ+ Rights.

However...

BREAKING: Huge victory for the climate movement!

Today a Dutch court ruled that Shell is liable for damaging the climate. 👏🙌

From collecting litter, to raising awareness and cultivating a community garden, this #EarthDay2021 we're recognising students and staff @unibirmingham who've been taking steps towards a greener future.

There's lots to do and we only have one Earth so we must look after it 💚

[Matthew Griffin @Guild_EE]

Just given a @GreenpeaceUK talk at a school for #EarthDay so heartening to talk to inspiring kids, but also upsetting to think of the future the climate crisis promises them. Even that is a privilege; for many kids in the Global South the crisis is a lived-reality. Heartbreaking

[Community Wardens @ilovesellyoak]

We’re back! Today your Community Wardens filled 10 bags whilst litter-picking - great going from the team, but a real shame there was so much rubbish around ☹️ Please make sure you do your bit to keep your community tidy!
