FREE EVENT: Join some of UQ's world-leading academics and climate change researchers to watch a short film about divestment – the rapidly growing global movement to get universities to stop investing in fossil fuels. Followed by a panel discussion where we'll get to hear from these leading academics and discuss UQ's fossil fuel investments.

We're screening the 15-minute film “$hift”, created by students from San Francisco to explain the reasoning behind fossil fuel divestment and tell the inspiring stories of students around the world who are fighting against the entrenched power of the fossil fuel industry, demanding climate justice.

Our academic discussion panel is of a very high calibre, a rare opportunity not to be missed! We'll be hosting:

John Cook – UQ Climate Communication Fellow, from the Global Change Institute

Professor John Quiggin – ARC Australian Laureate Fellow in Economics, celebrated author

Associate Professor Kristen Lyons – Senior Research Fellow with the Oakland Institute

Dr. David King - climate change & public health researcher, executive member of Doctors for the Environment

Associate Professor William Grey – Honorary Research Associate Professor in Philosophy (environmental philosophy).
