UCT campaign

UCT has made progress on its committment in 2022 to divest from fossil fuels. Now students have moved their sights to researching other ways fossil fuels are embedded at the university, and to see if there are further ways the university can disassociate from fossil fuel interests.

Our most recent updates and detailed history of our campaign, going back to 2013, can be viewed on our campaign timeline overview here. Below, find news, events, a timeline of pictures and Frequently Asked Questions.
