Lesson Overview

In this lesson, we unpack the meaning and mechanics of divestment — what it is, and why implementing a divestment strategy isn’t always as straightforward as the concept itself.

We explore:

  • 📌 What divestment really means — and the motivations behind it
  • 📌 Arguments for and against using divestment as a tool
  • 📌 Real-world examples — South Africa, fossil fuels, Russia, and Israel
  • 📌 Implementation challenges — from investment types to drawing the line
  • 📌 What does success look like? — aligning objectives and outcomes

Understanding divestment is about more than allocating capital — it’s about understanding power, values, and the complex role that finance plays in shaping our world.
