If universities lead climate knowledge, why do fossil fuel companies fund them? Our Carbon Captured? report launch event at UWC explored how industry money buys greenwashed legitimacy on SA campuses. We need academic transparency & climate leadership. Read the report here: qrto.to/7e6031ec

REMINDER: Just because a wildfire starts with a cigarette butt, faulty power line, arson or lightning strike does NOT mean the climate crisis is off the hook. Hotter, drier conditions are turning those sparks into fires that burn longer, spread faster and are far harder to control.
