Columbia University Students Demand Climate Action, University to Consider Divesting from Fossil Fuels Columbia University students are escalating their demands for the university to take immediate action on climate change, calling for a complete divestment from fossil fuels. The student-led movement, which has been gaining momentum in recent months, cites the university's significant investments in companies that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbate the climate crisis. As the university's Board of Trustees prepares to make a decision on the matter, students are planning to stage a sit-in protest on campus, highlighting the urgent need for Columbia to align its investments with its commitment to sustainability. The move comes as colleges and universities across the country grapple with the moral and financial implications of fossil fuel investments.
