Fossil Fuel Divest Harvard Alumni

We are alumni calling on Harvard to embody its core value of “veritas” and BAN research funding from the fossil fuel industry

Dear Members of the Harvard Corporation, Provost Garber, and Climate Provost Stock,

We are proud of Harvard’s commitment to divest its endowment from the fossil fuel industry, but to show real leadership in the climate crisis, Harvard must go further. As Harvard alumni, we urge you to follow the recommendations laid out in the paper “A Fossil Fuel-Free Harvard.” To maintain academic integrity, Harvard must:

1. Ban fossil fuel funding and collaboration in research
2. Strengthen and enforce conflict-of-interest disclosure policies
3. Convene a panel to design and implement these policies

Signed,

DivestHarvardAlumni
