"We depend on the natural world and each other. Harvard has an opportunity to defend our future and a responsibility to take it."

"I'm proud to support the Harvard Forward campaign in leading our community to a more just, equitable, and sustainable future."

"The Harvard Forward candidates will make a better Harvard and a better world."

"As an engineer in the renewable energy industry, I know we need to work together at every level to combat climate change. Our institutions must invest in a sustainable future."

"Harvard must divest because: 1) we should not destroy the planet, and 2) fossil fuels are a financial time bomb. We should not be holding the purse strings while the world moves forward."

"It’s time for Harvard, an institution with world-leading health science schools, to take a stand for the health of people the world over and of future generations."

"Harvard has a moral responsibility to invest in safeguarding our natural world rather than in exploiting it through deforestation and the extraction of fossil fuels. I am eager to vote for the Harvard Forward candidates."

“I am pleased to join this effort to elect graduates who will unify the University in bringing to bear on climate change the totality of its resources, including the swift decarbonization of its endowment.”

"Everything I learned at the Harvard Kennedy School, from ethics to leadership to economics, suggests that the university needs to get on the right side of history by divesting from fossil fuels. Let's look forward, not backward."

"I am proud to support these young alumni in pushing Harvard to set an example for fighting climate change around the world."

"Harvard needs people in positions of leadership willing to take on the difficult issues of climate change and diversity and inclusion. Harvard Forward is bringing fresh voices to the table on both of these issues!"

"As Harvard alumni, it's our responsibility to make sure our university assumes leadership in addressing the climate crisis. I’m proud to support Harvard Forward’s role on this."

"Sooner or later Harvard will divest. The question is whether we divest and decarbonize now, when we can possibly move the needle on climate change. Or we wait until nobody cares what we do."

"Each day Harvard fails to act, the consequences of climate change grow and the pathways to solutions narrow. Harvard must divest now and call on other universities to follow suit."

"The costs of solar, wind, storage, and new nuclear are rapidly declining. Divesting from fossil fuels is an easier choice than ever before."

"Tackling climate change is the single most important issue we can tackle for the safety and prosperity of our species."

"Harvard's financial well-being should not be tied to the profitability of the energy sector. In order for Harvard as an institution and the people who embody it to be free to advocate for what must be done, Harvard must divest its stake in carbon-based energy production."

"Harvard being the most prestigious academic institution in the world should lead by example. Harvard should try to achieve its sustainability plan commitments in well advance so that others can learn and join the fight against climate change!"
