Fossil Fuel Divest Harvard

Latest Updates

Our Platform

1. DISCLOSE: We recognize transparency as a necessary prerequisite to ensure that Harvard’s endowment meets the goals of the university and the communities it serves. Harvard must publicly disclose all current direct and indirect investments in the fossil fuel industry in an annual document.

2. DIVEST: We condemn investment in the fossil fuel industry for its role in actively perpetuating the climate crisis. Harvard must release a statement declaring a commitment to total divestment of the endowment from direct and indirect holdings in the fossil fuel industry, along with a comprehensive plan to achieve this.

3: REINVEST: We call for Harvard to leverage its financial power for reparative justice by supporting environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, and community-based investment. We call on Harvard to work with the students, alumni, and faculty of Divest Harvard to establish new reinvestment principles.
