Divest Barclays Launch

Barclays is a major investor in fossil fuel infrastructure across the globe it's time for them to halt their support for the fossil fuel industry before they crash the climate or the economy. Students in the network decided they would build a movement that will get unis to break ties with Barclays, build a mass boycott, end sponsorship deals and show Barclays up for the climate criminal that they are.

We are in a climate crisis. And fossil fuel companies have pumped out 71% of the global carbon emissions that have caused it. UK Universities are profiting from this destructive industry through their investments. In solidarity with the frontline and Indigenous communities experiencing climate impacts and resisting extraction projects, we are demanding an end to this relationship. Universities must move their money out of fossil fuels.

If we are serious about preventing catastrophic warming, we need to stop Barclays funding any new coal mines, drill any new fracking sites or build any more pipelines. Not a single one. Take action to tell them we’re done expanding the fossil fuel frontier.
