Endorsement:

The Climate Action Plan for the University of Alberta is a bold and necessary step toward addressing the urgent climate crisis. By committing to the goals outlined in this document --rapid decarbonization, divesting from fossil fuels, and prioritizing climate justice -- the university can set an example for institutions worldwide located in regions currently committed to resource extraction about the right approach to take to mitigating climate change. This comprehensive approach outlined in the Action Plan will not only help reduce the university's carbon footprint but also empowers the broader community through education and collaborative action.
