In April 2016, the University of Ottawa made a curious decision regarding climate change. The previous couple of years saw campaigning by student groups, supported by some academics, to get the University to divest the holdings in its pension funds and endowments from fossil fuels. This was in common with divestment campaigns on many other university campuses across North America and beyond, as well as in churches and some larger institutional investors. In response, the University announced that it would not divest from fossil fuels but later on in the report making this announcement, it stated that it would take the investments out of the various fossil fuel companies it had holdings in, and shift that money into ‘clean energy’ investments. In other words, it decided to divest from fossil fuels but would not accept publicly that it was doing this (see Chapter 8 for a longer discussion of this episode).
