In Australia, although we have won some notable victories, the fact that our Universities are a LOT larger, very very underfunded, and that almost all Vice-Chancellors are very opposed to any type of climate action, has made it really difficult.. I see the value of campus campaigns more as a training ground for new activists, as a starting point for their radicalisation, and victories are important to boost their involvement and morale, and to use to pressure government and industry, but perhaps the actual impact on climate change mitigation, at least in Australia, is not so big. Just some thoughts I have been having lately.. do any (esp Aussie) readers out there have any comments?
