The Problem

Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time.

The University of Melbourne plays a critical role in educating new leaders to rise to this challenge. At the same time they are financing the very problem they educated us to solve.

Through their endowment, the University of Melbourne is investing millions in the fossil fuel industry, whose activities are driving dangerous climate change.

That’s like taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
