Leiden Climate Debate: Media Coverage

I recently took part in the climate debate at Leiden University where we discussed the relationship between the fossil fuel industry and the university. It was a fantastic event with an overwhelming majority of students and staff in favour of cutting ties with the fossil fuel industry, or imposing strict conditions for co-operation. Here is some of the media coverage:
