On the heels of the highest engagement with Yale’s governance in a generation, Yale’s Board of Trustees ended the 150 year tradition of allowing alumni to petition their way onto the ballot for the Yale Corporation. Sign the petition to bring it back: chng.it/phjdwN2fV4

Iceland meets 89% of its primary energy supply and almost 100% of its electricity using clean energy. With an endowment 1.5x as large, Yale should commit to going carbon neutral by 2030 and to fully divesting Yale's endowment from fossil fuels. bit.ly/3p0xz58

Students and alumni are delivering the same message to the @Yale administration: Yale must grasp the opportunity to lead on climate change, which starts on campus. If the whole world must decarbonize before 2050, Yale should surely be ahead of the curve, not behind it.
Joseph Winters 🔶@josephbwinters
Yale students say the university must decarbonize by 2030, not 2050. "How can we ask the whole world to change their ways of life if the richest and wealthiest institutions are unwilling to do so themselves?" My latest in @grist: grist.org/climate/yale-p…

@JimStLeger @maggiethomas315 @ayanaeliza Jim, the Yale Corporation is simply the formal name for Yale's governing body, as established in the 1701 charter. It is sometimes also called the Board of Trustees, and is ultimately responsible for Yale's finances, leadership hiring, investments, academic direction and more.
English
@maggiethomas315 @ayanaeliza Can you educate me on "Yale Corporation"?
I thought Yale University was a non-profit? Where does the "corporation" part fit in here?
Note: I do like the aggressive carbon neutral goal. Maybe also educate all the Yale Law School grads on global warming being real and democracy.

A carbon neutral @Yale by 2030 is exactly why I am running to be the first climate leader elected to the Yale Corporation. Join us at @YaleForward!
Yale Daily News@yaledailynews
OPINION | Mitchell & Smith: One might expect the wealthiest institutions on the planet to decarbonize as quickly as possible. It seems that Yale disagrees. bit.ly/2Ij0QYT
English
We couldn't agree more. Our climate action and endowment justice plans lay a path to a carbon neutral @Yale by 2030, which we will achieve by listening to our scientists, thoughtfully allocating our endowment, and investing in our host city of New Haven. Yaleforward.org/platform

Great op-ed on how @Yale (sitting on a $31 billion endowment!!) is only planning to go carbon-neutral by . . . 2050. Slower than less wealthy schools and a generation too late. Time for a plan to rapidly decarbonize & create green jobs for New Haven! yaledailynews.com/blog/2020/11/0…

We did it! Our petition to nominate @maggiethomas315 to the @Yale Corporation closed last night, and pending official verification, she will be on the ballot in next April's election!
We're far from done, but for now, we celebrate.

THREAD: We just released the Law Firm Climate Change Scorecard, the 1st ever study of top law firms' role in the climate crisis.
A large majority of top law firms are on the wrong side of history--and we have the data to prove it (1/8)

Wow wow wow. Cambridge Uni to divest its £3.5b endowment from *all* fossil fuels & reinvest in renewable energy. My alma mater *finally* "puts its money where its brains are", as @billmckibben puts it, yielding to years of tireless student organising. 1/n theguardian.com/education/2020…
