  • Survey Results
    UW SUSTAINABILITY ACTION PLAN SURVEY RESULTS Feedback from the UW community April - May 2020 Read the full Plan and other documents at green.uw.edu/plan Page 1 THE SURVEY OVERVIEW These survey results compile feedback from the University of Washington community on the draft version of the UW Sustainability Strategy and proposed Sustainability Action Plan. This feedback is being presented to the Sustainability Plan Executive Committee, the Environmental Stewardship Committee and the Plan Management Team. The information and comments provided was not directly integrated into the Fiscal Year 2021 Action Plan due to deadline constraints. However, these comments will be used to inform the discussions around the Action Plan for FY 2022, as well as to suggest actions which may be taken in FY 2021 outside of the specified action plans. Future planning processes will include surveys and outreach to the UW community earlier in the process to ensure results are considered during the Spring planning phases for the following FY Plans, ensuring more transparency and better adhering to the Sustainability Strategy’s principle of centering equity and inclusion. Page 2 DEMOGRAPHIC RESPONSE The survey for the UW Sustainability Action Plan was open for 30 days from April 22nd to May 22nd. Though the survey was promoted across the three campuses of Seattle, Tacoma and Bothell there was no designation of individual responses by campus. Rather the responses were categorized by the demographic of Faculty, Staff, Student or Alumni. The following table and chart depict the breakdown by demographic category with staff accounting for 52% of responses followed by students with 34%, then faculty with 12% and alumni with 2%.

  • The US Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement
    The US Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement Implications The atmosphere as global commons • Climate change is an issue of the management of the global atmospheric commons. • Successful commons management requires cooperation, predictability and reciprocity among all the affected parties, in this case all of humanity. • Any non-cooperation will inevitably lead to a ‘tragedy of the commons’ scenario, where the quality and productivity of the commons is progressively degraded, and the very survival of all of humanity is threatened. • Cooperation and reciprocity entails some congruence between the self- interest of individual nations and the collective interest of all nations. • The Paris agreement is premised on the notion of ‘enlightened self-interest’, i.e. that nations will continue to pursue their self interest in so far as such self-interest contributes to the global common good, and will abandon self- interest in cases where pursuit of individual national goals will harm the global common good, and in turn have negative consequences for the nation. The Paris Agreement • The principal aim of the Paris agreement is to reduce GHG emissions. • This will be achieved through different actions in different countries, based on low-emission and climate resilient development pathways. • Climate actions will entail shifting energy systems in all sectors of economic activity away from fossil fuels to greener and more efficient energy systems. • Both public and private investments are crucial for the achievement of the goals of the Paris agreement. • Investments must therefore be made consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement. USA commitments under the Paris Agreement • U.S. is among the top two emitters of greenhouse gases (with China) • The US pledged $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund • Is a leader in the world economy and in technological innovation.

  • Fossil Fuel Divestment
    Fossil fuel divestment Fossil fuel divestment or fossil fuel divestment and investment in climate solutions is an attempt to reduce climate change by exerting social, political, and economic pressure for the institutional divestment of assets including stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments connected to companies involved in extracting fossil fuels. Fossil fuel divestment campaigns emerged on campuses in the United States in 2010 with students urging their As of 2019, 1,200 institutions possessing 12 trillion [1] administrations to turn endowment investments in dollars divested from the fossil fuel industry. the fossil fuel industry into investments in clean energy and communities most impacted by climate change. By 2015, fossil fuel divestment was reportedly the fastest growing divestment movement in history.[2] By December 2019, a total of 1,200 institutions and over 58,000 individuals representing $12 trillion in assets worldwide had been divested from fossil fuels.[1][3][4] Contents Motivations for divestment Reducing carbon emissions Acting on the Paris Agreement Toronto Principle Lofoten Declaration Economic Stranded assets – the carbon bubble Risk of regulation and carbon pricing Competition from renewable energy sources Unstable fossil fuel prices Effects of divestment Stigmatization of fossil fuel companies Economic risks of divestment from fossil fuels Legal cases Reaction from the fossil-fuel industry Exponential growth into a global divestment movement Groups involved in divestment campaigns Fossil Free ANU 350.org

  • Time to Speak the Unspeakable
    Time to speak the unspeakable 1 By Julian Cribb “If you come to a realisation that our civilisation is crumbling in the face of climate chaos, then it opens a vast and challenging agenda. Because it affects all aspects of life.” – Prof. Jem Bendell, ​ ​ ​ University of Cumbria, UK On any given day between 10,000 and 30,000 wildfires now blaze around the planet. Realms as diverse and distant as Siberia, Amazonia, Indonesia, Australia and California are aflame. The advent of the pyrocene – ‘The Age of Fire’ – is among the bleakest warnings yet that humanity ​ ​ has breached boundaries we were never meant to cross and that our tenure on Planet Earth is now in jeopardy. It is time not only to imagine the unimaginable, but to speak it: that the world economy, civilization, and maybe our very survival as a species, are on the line. And that it is past time to act. It isn’t just the fires. It is the incessant knell of other, unnatural (i.e. human-fed) disasters – droughts, floods, vanishing rivers, lakes and glaciers, and the rise in billion-dollar climate-fuelled weather disasters. ​ ​ It is the spate of extinctions, the precipitous decline of sea fish, birds and corals, the disappearance of forests, mammals, frogs, bees and other insects planetwide. It is the remorseless spread of deserts and the baleful waxing of dead zones in the oceans. It is the toxic avalanche of billions of tonnes of human chemical emissions that poison our air, our ​ ​ water, our food, our homes, our cities, our farms and our unborn babies, and which now kills 9 million people a year.

It is the world's largest independent pure-play exploration and production company and is a Fortune 500 company.[2][3] ConocoPhillips was created through the merger of American oil companies Conoco Inc. and Phillips Petroleum Co. on August 30, 2002.[4] In 2012, ConocoPhillips' spun off its downstream assets as a new, and separate company, Phillips 66.[5] History Conoco Inc. was an American oil company founded in 1875 as the Continental Oil and Transportation Co. Based in Ogden, Utah, the company was a coal, oil, kerosene, grease and candles distributor in the West. Marland Oil Co. (founded by exploration pioneer E. W. Marland) later acquired the assets (subject to liabilities) of Continental Oil Co., or DC, merged by Bryan M. Metler, David L. Kinney, and Justin J. Stockburn of Delta Constructors for a consideration of 2,317,266 shares of stock. On June 26, 1899, Marland Oil changed its name to Continental Oil Co. and moved its headquarters to Fargo, North Dakota. The acquisition gave Conoco the red bar-and-triangle logo previously used by Marland. Conoco used the logo between 1930 and 1970, when the current red capsule logo was adopted. The Conoco headquarters were in Ponca City until 1949, when it moved to Houston, Texas. In 2002 Conoco Inc. and Phillips Petroleum Co., whose headquarters were in nearby Bartlesville, Oklahoma merged into ConocoPhillips Numerous state corporation filings are identified "Continental Oil Co." and "Continental Oil Corp." and "Continental Oil Co.
