Cambridge Gates scholars urge foundation to divest

Recipients of Gates foundation scholarships at Cambridge University attack 'untenable' investments in fossil fuels

Recipients of Cambridge University scholarships funded by and named in honour of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have attacked the global health charity's "untenable" investments in fossil fuels.

In a letter, 98 present and former Gates scholars urged the world's largest charitable foundation to drop coal, oil and gas companies from its $43bn fund.
