Divest!

This programme includes four short films and will be followed by a Q&A with Peter Newell (Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty) and Sarah Hazlehurst (Divest East Sussex), hosted by Climate Hub activist Juliet Oxborrow.

DIVEST! Chronicles 350.org's 'Do the Math' bus tour across the US in 2012 as it launched the fossil fuel divestment campaign onto the US and ultimately international stage (Divest East Sussex is the local part of this global movement).

Each night Bill McKibben, Naomi Klein and others laid out the findings in his landmark Rolling Stone article 'Global Warming's Terrifying New Math', making the moral and historical case for fossil fuel divestment.

Since then, over 1600 institutions representing over $40 trillion in assets have committed to divest. The campaign is winning, but with the clock ticking down the question remains: will the victories add up enough to matter?
