In 2020 Cambridge university announced that it would strip its £3.5bn endowment fund of all fossil fuel investments by 2030. Shedding its near-£100mn of exposure to the energy sector was necessary to align its investment strategy with climate science which showed the need to cut carbon emissions to net zero to avoid catastrophe, it explained. By divesting, said vice-chancellor Stephen Toope, Cambridge was “responding comprehensively to a pressing environmental and moral need for action”.
2020年,剑桥大学(Cambridge university)宣布,到2030年,将取消其35亿英镑的捐赠基金的所有化石燃料投资。该公司解释说,为了使其投资战略与气候科学相一致,有必要减少其在能源领域近1亿英镑的投资,气候科学表明有必要将碳排放减少到净零,以避免灾难。剑桥大学副校长斯蒂芬•图普(Stephen Toope)表示,通过撤资,剑桥“全面响应了采取行动的紧迫环境和道德需求”。
