People & Planet: Introduction to Fossil Free @ University College Birmingham

Time + date: Monday 29th of April @ 

Location: University College Birmingham, MH327 (McIntyre House)

A workshop to get YOU involved with the Fossil Free campaign at University College Birmingham!

Want to be involved with the campaign to get UCB to divest from fossil fuels? Want to take action in response to the unfolding climate crisis? Then you've clicked on the right link!

"1.5 to stay alive" was the call from small island states in the Caribbean during COP21. 6 years on, in the year of COP26, and the fossil fuel industry is still driving us into climate chaos. Want to take action in solidarity with frontline communities through meaningful climate justice action on your campus?

 Join us to get Univeristy College Birmingham out of fossil fuels!

While 72% of UK universities have committed to divest from fossil fules, University College Birmingham is still calculated to hold £1,505,734 in fossil fuel investments. Students all around the Birmingham and the wider UK are demanding for their universities to stop investing in this harmful industry, and to commit to an exlcusion of all fossil fuels from its investment portfolio. 

By joining for this interactive and practical session you'll leave with a clear understanding of what actions YOU can take in the fight for climate and social justice, with one clear overarching tactic: using your power as students to push UCB to publicly announce divestment from fossil fuels.

We think it's time for University College Birmingham to go Fossil Free! If you agree, we'll see you there!
