Students in Glasgow protested their Engineering Careers Fair yesterday, where Barclays, Europe's top fossil fuel funder, and BAE were trying to recruit students. We proudly supported this vital action with leaflets, bottles, & chants! #BarclaysScrewsYourFuture #defundfossilfuels

Universities showed key climate leadership when so many divested from fossil fuels. Banking with some of the world's top fossil fuel financers undermines this leadership. Follow Make My Money Matter's campaign and email your university to call for them to cut these toxic ties 👇

Important intervention 👏 Investment managers like Vanguard are pouring vast sums into fossil fuel expansion, causing untold devastation across the globe. The world's leading scientists have been clear this must stop immediately. It's time Vanguard listened.

Great to see another university, this time in Scotland's oil and gas capital, committing to divest from fossil fuels! 😍 Congratulations to RGU GoGreen and People & Planet for this win!

It was an absolute joy to support Laura, a GCU student, to campaign for the university to divest from arms and fossil fuels and reinvest their capital into sustainable alternatives. A true testament to the power of student led campaigning and accountability work!

In case you missed it... Last month, Cambridge University put Barclays Bank on notice, threatening to leave the bank if it didn't stop financing oil and gas expansion. University of Leeds already ditched Barclays because of its climate failures. Time for Barclays to finally go fossil free.

Fossil fuel industry interference is trashing the credibility of the world's most important climate negotiations. This is a devastating development that must urgently be reversed. No more foxes guarding the henhouse 🦊🛢️❌🌎 bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

. HSBC's fossil fuel financing pledge was always more about greenwash and PR than real climate action. This important story reveals exactly why. Until banks halt *all* corporate financing for fossil fuel expanders, they are just as responsible for climate destruction.

No surprises here: Barclays Bank taking the tiniest baby-steps when science and justice require massive, rapid changes to their approach. Anything less than a full commitment to half financing for fossil fuel expansion betrays us all. Barclays must do better.

In 2020 University of Oxford pledged to divest from fossil fuels But years later they've exploited loopholes in the existing policy to *increase* investments in the sector Great work by Students Organising for Sustainability🌍 Invest for Change on enforcing this policy By Attracta Mooney ft.com/content/884846…

Today over 300 Barclays staff at Glasgow HQ found out the truth about Barclays new climate policy: it's full of loopholes and is their finest example of greenwashing yet. Our fast response group of Loyal Barclays Employees™ were out in full force, check the pics for details 🔥📢

BIG universities like Cambridge & Oxford are teaming up in search of a bank to manage their cash that doesn't fund new fossil fuels - notable emphasis on gas Will generate competition on climate in the sector 🤞 Barclays Bank new policy would disqualify it ft.com/content/6c1dd9…

📣Take action TODAY by asking your university to join the call for a bank they can switch to that doesn't finance fossil fuel expansion: sos-uk.org/post/put-fossi…

Huge congratulations to Liverpool Hope University, the 109th to divest from fossil fuels! There's no getting around it: the fossil fuel industry is hellbent on ignoring the science and trashing our future. They shouldn't be getting a penny of university money (cough Imperial College London)

We're in Wonkhe discussing the potential mass exodus of UK Higher Education from fossil-financing banks💥 While banks like Barclays Bank, HSBC and Lloyds bankroll climate devastation and human-rights abuses, universities will rightly look elsewhere! wonkhe.com/blogs/uk-unive…
