New 🚨 InfluenceMap's COP29 attendee tracker shows only 17% of companies present take science aligned climate advocacy positions. Conversely, 21% of attendees advocate obstructively, as do 1/3 of industry associations present. Access the full database: tinyurl.com/IMCOP

UT-student Jelle van Dijk en UT-alumnus Mark Akkerman doen in een opiniebrief een oproep aan de UT en andere universiteiten om geen samenwerkingen met de militaire industrie aan te gaan. utoday.nl/opinion/74849/…

🚨BREAKING🚨The School of the Environment at @UofT commits to #FossilFuelDissociation and #FossilFreeResearch, announcing it will not accept funding from or engage in sponsorships, research partnerships or recruitment events w/ fossil fuel companies!  theguardian.com/us-news/2024/o…

De gebrekkige berichtgeving van @NOS bij extreem weer is becijferd door @solid_research. Wat blijkt? In slechts 22% van de berichten wordt het verband tussen extreem weer en klimaatverandering benoemd. linkedin.com/pulse/hoe-vaak…

Princeton in 2022 pledged to dissociate from top fossil fuel companies — ie stop taking their funding. it just rolled back that pledge. fossilfueldissociation.princeton.edu

@UniUtrecht acknowledges that @bp_plc is not Paris-aligned, but the project was already orally agreed upon right before their statement of last year to only enter into research collabs with fossil companies if they are committed the Paris Agreement. dub.uu.nl/nl/nieuws/tuss…

@UniUtrecht recently started a new research project with @bp_plc on bio-derived feedstocks, bc it "could potentially have a major impact on the energy transition"&"BP is among the most progressive fossil companies in the world when it comes to investing in new energy sources".

@abounn and @FTM_eu uncovered examples of @bp_plc-backed research that found limited harm of oil to fish and oysters in comparison to independent or government-conducted studies. ftm.eu/articles/bp-re…

NEW : How BP shaped the science after the world’s biggest oil spill My new investigation for @FTM_eu looks into newly released court documents on the US Deepwater Horizon oil spill ftm.eu/articles/bp-re…

It would be reckless, however, to think that these deals are the end of Equinor's greenwashing. The company has recently moved into sponsoring students and academia. Its industry scholarships at @aberdeenuni are one notable example of this new tactic.🤥 8/9

It follows the website academiccomplicity.nl which looked at 🇳🇱 universities, and was also co-developed with @elsclegal, @CTWnl , and a team of volunteers. (4/4)

The site academiccomplicity.be, launched last Friday, documents current ties between 🇧🇪 universities and 🇮🇱 universities and companies, as well as military companies such as @thalesgroup and @Airbus. (3/4)

The book "Towers of Ivory and Steel" by Dr. @mayaywind, detailing Israeli universities' complicity in human rights violations against Palestinians & occupation of 🇵🇸 land, has led to increasing scrutiny of European universities' ties with 🇮🇱 universities. (1/4)
