In 2020 Cambridge university announced that it would strip its £3.5bn endowment fund of all fossil fuel investments by 2030. Shedding its near-£100mn of exposure to the energy sector was necessary to align its investment strategy with climate science which showed the need to cut carbon emissions to net zero to avoid catastrophe, it explained. By divesting, said vice-chancellor Stephen Toope, Cambridge was “responding comprehensively to a pressing environmental and moral need for action”.
2020年,劍橋大學(Cambridge university)宣布,到2030年,將取消其35億英鎊的捐贈基金的所有化石燃料投資。該公司解釋說,為了使其投資戰略與氣候科學相一致,有必要減少其在能源領域近1億英鎊的投資,氣候科學表明有必要將碳排放減少到凈零,以避免災難。劍橋大學副校長斯蒂芬?圖普(Stephen Toope)表示,通過撤資,劍橋“全面響應了采取行動的緊迫環境和道德需求”。
