Following Cambridge University's landmark divestment decision, here a joint message from PI Cambridge and Oxford on our focus beyond divestment

[Positive Investment @PlusInvestment]

Yesterday's announcement by @Cambridge_Uni to divest from fossil fuels is a powerful statement that says
"we don't want to: a) profit from your business model; b) be exposed to your risks"
This was a huge achievement!
And it opens the door for a series of opportunities...
1/5

[Positive Investment Cambridge @PosInvestCam]

We should not forget that today's announcement comes on the back of several years of campaigning for more responsible investment practices from students across the University, and demonstrates the power of students to bring about change.

[Positive Investment Cambridge @PosInvestCam]

A fantastic public commitment from the University to both direct and indirect fossil fuel divestment, and to build up renewable energy investments! (1/4)

We now look forward to engaging with the University and hearing more detail on how it plans to practically implement this decision, meaningfully reinvest it's endowment and align its banking choices with its climate targets.

As this article points out banks are continuing to fund fossil fuel companies and make empty promises to cut back https://t.co/Q0xfvxJBn1 https://t.co/Q0xfvxJBn1

69 UK universities have committed to divest from fossil fuels. This amounts to £11bn being taken out of the industry. The University of Cambridge should urgently join this divestment movement wholeheartedly. https://t.co/EgDc4ji8Za
