When we talk about this, we should first address what is meant by the fossil fuel industry. If you examine it closely, part of our direct funding comes from the gas industry. So we need to reflect carefully: where do our ties start and where do they end?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not in our own interest to cut the fossil fuel companies loose. On the contrary, we want to contribute to the solutions. We need to figure out how we can embark on a transition together with the industry, and what requirements should be set for the companies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, we want a range of voices to be part of the conversation.

If you look around, the greening of the campus is in evidence everywhere. We\u2019ve invested in solar panels, sustainable buildings, seasonal thermal energy storage, arrangements for international travel and commuting, and much more.

Will this decision be adopted at the university level?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cISS strongly engages with social issues and has been researching sustainability for some time. But other faculties have also taken steps. When I see what has been happening in the education sector in the past year, it makes me very happy. We have six master\u2019s programmes and sixty-four courses in which sustainability is the core theme. There\u2019s always room for improvement and we should strive to realise that, of course, but I mention it to show that we are already doing quite a lot. And together we can do more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>So the university wants to have an impact but does not want radical change?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we are currently doing could be called fairly radical. I do understand it\u2019s not enough, and I agree we could up our game. We want to be a leading university in the field of sustainability. This requires a lot from us, but it isn\u2019t a hopeless cause.
