1. 📰📢BREAKING NEWS: following sustained activism for #FossilFreeResearch, @Cambridge_Uni is renaming the BP Institute. Now, it must take the clear & critical next step of fully dismantling its financial ties to BP and all oil and gas giants. See our official statement for more.

Oxford and Cambridge students are demanding #FossilFreeResearch. Time to end this hypocrisy and threat to independent climate-related research !

[OxfordClimateJustice @OxUniFossilFree]

Oxford claims its taking climate-action and doing world-class climate research - but takes millions from the fossil fuel industry.

1/6. The Oxford Economic Growth Steering Board has just published a document called "Oxford's Economic Strategy". It's greenwash heavy & climate action light. If you live in or around Oxford, you can help push for a more sustainable version.

[Climate League of Oxford & Cambridge (CLOC) @OxcamCloc]

5/6. While the consultation closes on the 19th January, continued lobbying of your local councillors will put pressure on Oxford City Council to produce a greener (not green-washed) version of the Strategy plan.

Divestment now reached 1,500 institutions controlling $40 trillion in assets. Oxbridge colleges: get on the right side of history and join the exodus.

[Cambridge Library of Things @ThingsCambridge]

Happy New Year! Let’s make 2022 the year Cambridge gets its first Library of Things - you can help by retweeting and telling others about the project. Oh, and get in touch if you have ideas for a venue or want to help with fundraising!

[Climate League of Oxford & Cambridge (CLOC) @OxcamCloc]

4/4. TBH just caring about the climate is not enough: change requires involvement from everyone. So please make time to write an email, lobby a decision-maker, promote a motion, join a rally or get invoved in a climate actions. We can't let the well-funded #DontLookUp side win!

[Climate League of Oxford & Cambridge (CLOC) @OxcamCloc]

1/4. Happy New Year to everyone from CLOC, but also a plea that you make engagement in climate change activism a resolution for 2022. So please carve out time to #LookUp.

My latest piece is currently "Most viewed" on the Guardian.

"The movie #DontLookUp is satire. But speaking as a climate scientist, it’s also the most accurate film about society’s terrifying non-response to climate breakdown I’ve seen."

3/4. Think of it as a doughnut of activism. Due to studies & work, you may not have time to jump into the centre, but you can still make a vital contribution regularly contributing around the edges.
