Jake Lowe, BA’23, was named as one of 50 climate leaders driving fresh solutions to our planet’s biggest problems by Grist.
Lowe is the cofounder of Fossil Free Research, a coalition of university students in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada demanding that their universities stop accepting research funding from oil and gas companies. The organization has chapters across about 40 campuses.
Fossil Free Research issued an open letter last year, now signed by more than 800 academics, calling for colleges and universities to cut ties with fossil fuel companies.
