We have a great news feed on the Intentional Endowments Network website, which has been seeing a lot of new additions recently. The fossil fuel divestment campaigns are generating a lot of conversation on college and university campuses, and while the number of institutions committing to divestment is still relatively low, the number that are evaluating their investment policies and practices in light of the climate change threat, and other critical sustainability issues, is growing rapidly.
Here's a run down of some of the latest exciting news:
