Did you know that Melbourne University is investing in fossil fuels? By continuing to support this reckless industry, the University is profiting at the expense of its students and their futures.
Sign this petition if you think that it’s time for Melbourne University to show its genuine commitment to sustainability by putting its money where its mouth is and joining the global movement towards a prosperous low-carbon economy.
Please note that this is our new petition page. We got an amazing number of 4164 signatures on our previous petition.

We are calling on the University of Melbourne to commit to take action on the following:
1) Investigate and disclose the full carbon exposure of its investments;
2) Stop any new investments in fossil fuel extraction from the top 200 coal, oil and gas companies;
3) Develop a plan to move its portfolio away from fossil fuels towards cleaner solutions within 5 years.
