In a show of leadership, Yale University recently approved a set of ethical investment principles, establishing new standards for investment / divestment decisions.
Importantly, and mirroring our own proposals for minimum standards on disinformation, one of their key principles establishes that companies in which Yale invests:
“… should not undermine but support accurate climate science and accurate public communication about fossil fuel products, climate science, and climate change.” (Principle No. 4)
We applaud Yale’s leadership and look forward to establishing our own minimum standards precluding business and financial relationships with companies that produce or propagate climate disinformation.
