Divestment and Beyond: Organizing Climate Justice at the University of Toronto
Welcome to our website! We are Divestment and Beyond, a coalition of University of Toronto faculty, staff and students committed to fossil fuel divestment and climate justice. We believe that the University of Toronto has a responsibility and an opportunity to demonstrate genuine institutional leadership in the fight against climate change and to help build a socially just climate transition.
