Dailyuw · last updated

Institutional Climate Action UW projected the messages: “University of Washington END THE ERA OF FOSSIL FUELS,” and “University of Washington DECARBONIZE 95% BY 2035” onto multiple buildings across Red Square on the evening of Wednesday, March 5, 

The action was part of a broader campaign urging the UW Board of Regents (BOR) to accelerate its climate goals and commitments.

According to a post on Instagram, the group is mobilizing ahead of the March 12 BOR meeting in Dempsey Hall, where ICA expects board members to discuss decarbonization of Scope I emissions from UW facilities.
