Live Debate: Keep it in the ground

If we want to avoid dangerous levels of global warming, then at least two-thirds of proven fossil fuel reserves need to be left in the ground. Removing capital invested in fossil fuel companies is one way of working towards this - but is it an effective method?

This event was organised in partnership with the Guardian and the Doen Foundation, to discuss the Guardian's disinvestment campaign and debate what it means for the business and investor community.
