On the heels of the highest engagement with Yaleās governance in a generation, Yaleās Board of Trustees ended the 150 year tradition of allowing alumni to petition their way onto the ballot for the Yale Corporation. Sign the petition to bring it back: chng.it/phjdwN2fV4

Iceland meets 89% of its primary energy supply and almost 100% of its electricity using clean energy. With an endowment 1.5x as large, Yale should commit to going carbon neutral by 2030 and to fully divesting Yale's endowment from fossil fuels. bit.ly/3p0xz58

Students and alumni are delivering the same message to the @Yale administration: Yale must grasp the opportunity to lead on climate change, which starts on campus. If the whole world must decarbonize before 2050, Yale should surely be ahead of the curve, not behind it.

Yale students say the university must decarbonize by 2030, not 2050. "How can we ask the whole world to change their ways of life if the richest and wealthiest institutions are unwilling to do so themselves?" My latest in @grist:

A carbon neutral @Yale by 2030 is exactly why I am running to be the first climate leader elected to the Yale Corporation. Join us at @YaleForward!

OPINION | Mitchell & Smith: One might expect the wealthiest institutions on the planet to decarbonize as quickly as possible. It seems that Yale disagrees.

We couldn't agree more. Our climate action and endowment justice plans lay a path to a carbon neutral @Yale by 2030, which we will achieve by listening to our scientists, thoughtfully allocating our endowment, and investing in our host city of New Haven. Yaleforward.org/platform

Great op-ed on how @Yale (sitting on a $31 billion endowment!!) is only planning to go carbon-neutral by . . . 2050. Slower than less wealthy schools and a generation too late. Time for a plan to rapidly decarbonize & create green jobs for New Haven! yaledailynews.com/blog/2020/ā¦

THREAD: We just released the Law Firm Climate Change Scorecard, the 1st ever study of top law firms' role in the climate crisis.
A large majority of top law firms are on the wrong side of history--and we have the data to prove it (1/8)

Wow wow wow. Cambridge Uni to divest its Ā£3.5b endowment from *all* fossil fuels & reinvest in renewable energy. My alma mater *finally* "puts its money where its brains are", as @billmckibben puts it, yielding to years of tireless student organising. 1/n theguardian.com/education/20ā¦
