[DurhamDivest] The Commission on Divestment from Companies involved in Fossil Fuels extraction.

[Susan Wesley]

Hi All

Update from  Dr Amanda Ellison; "Our next meeting is June 26th when we 
will evaluate risk to our educational and research environments. Our 
final recommendation will be submitted in September and that will be 
taken forward to senate and council."

The "risk" is to all of us!

Some good news.

*Global demand for coal falls in 2016 for second year in a row*
