The UCT Council decided in 2015 that the University's investments should henceforth be managed on a basis that includes ethical considerations. But what should that mean in practice? Given that climate change has been described as the greatest threat of the age to human rights, security and economic stability, most of all in Africa, should UCT be joining the international fossil fuel divestment movement? We'll ask four panellists for their views, then open for questions and discussion. 

Participants: 

Professor Alexandra Watson (Commerce, UCT joint investment committee)

Professor Ralph Hamann (GSB)
