ABERYSTWYTH University has become the 10th British university to announce it will “no longer collaborate or hold relationships” with fossil fuel, mining or tobacco companies.

The commitment follows negotiations with the country’s largest student-led campaigning charity People & Planet, as part of its Fossil Free Careers campaign.

Student campaigners are now turning their attention to other campuses, particularly at the University of Bangor, where students have been negotiating for fossil fuel industry exclusions since September.
