On January 15, 2020, the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies hosted their monthly Community Conversations event, a facilitated conversation for members of the Yale community and the public to discuss issues pertaining to the School’s program and the wider Yale community. The recent protest during the Harvard/Yale football game, which called for Yale’s endowment to divest from fossil fuels, had brought the facilitators of the Community Conversations event to consider a broader dialogue about issues around divestment and sustainable investing.
