University of Guelph sidesteps demands for full fossil fuel divestment with partial carbon cut

The University of Guelph has voted to cut the carbon footprint of its endowment fund by 10 per cent over two years in response to a student-led campaign, the latest attempt by an institution to sidestep calls for full fossil fuel divestment.

The commitment is being described by university personal as a “starting point” — one that will eventually lead to further reduction goals being made in the future as part of a long-term plan — but as “minimal” by some student advocates.

Don O’Leary, the university’s vice-president of finance, administration and risk, said the school’s investments have been ranked by their current carbon footprint and the school will begin either reducing positions in multiple names or eliminating investments entirely. O’Leary, however, acknowledged that these reductions could be made outside the oil and gas sector — noting that utilities and material and manufacturing companies were among the worst offenders.

Curbing our oil and gas addiction will require more than divestment campaigns and industry bashing

Church of England adds another 'brick in the wall' of oil disinvestment

Investor group looks to connect bottom line to green, social factors

After the vote, O’Leary rejected the notion that the board’s commitment was mostly symbolic, saying that that would be the case had the school moved for divestment instead.

“The full divestment from fossil fuel would in many ways be a symbolic gesture,” he said. “We’re a small investor and those companies wouldn’t much care whether we were involved or not. By staying in some of those companies, we can become an active investor, engage these companies … press and push and find change.”

Upon making its decision, the University of Guelph joins a long list of Canadian universities who have spurned the divestment movement in the past five years. University of Toronto, McGill University, University of Calgary, Dalhousie University and University of British Columbia have each rejected divestment and offered alternatives such as the creation of low-carbon funds and unspecified promises to keep environmental risks in mind for future investments. Similar pushes for institutional investors to do the same have gone unheeded.

University of Ottawa and Simon Fraser University found compromises in the same manner that Guelph did, promising to lower the carbon footprints of their investments by 30 per cent by 2030.

Laval University was the first and only university in February 2017 to announce it would be divesting of fossil fuels. The plan has since changed and a spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday that the university will track the carbon footprint of its investment portfolio and expand its focus to all greenhouse gas emissions.

“A total divestment from fossil fuel, using that metric, is not feasible,” the statement said. The university has not yet begun divesting and did not offer a target date.

The decision was made in response to a special action request made by student group, Fossil Free Guelph, which has been pushing the university since 2013 to immediately freeze fossil fuel assets in its endowment fund and then divest entirely over five years.

Spencer McGregor, a University of Guelph student and member of Fossil Free Guelph, was disappointed with the decision, criticizing the university for ignoring its students. McGregor said that 72 per cent supported divestment in an undergraduate referendum in 2016.

“By giving us this 10 per cent carbon reduction, they’re trying to spin it as a win,” McGregor said. “If the university had committed to divestment (in 2013), they would’ve been the first Canadian university to be done the process and that would’ve been real environmental leadership. What they’re doing is pretty minimal.”

According to documents obtained by Fossil Fuel Guelph, the university had more than than $37.62 million invested in 58 energy companies as of July 31, 2018. The university’s holdings, which are made up of several Canadian and international companies that operate in Poland, Hungary, China and the Netherlands, for example, make up 13.4 per cent of the total endowment fund, which is mostly used to pay scholarships.

Calgary-based Prairiesky Royalty Ltd., a company that acquires and manages royalty lands in order to make third-party investments in the oil and gas sector, has the most weight in the portfolio, accounting for more than $3.8 million in investments. European juggernauts Total SA and Royal Dutch Shell PLC as well as Enbridge Inc. and Peyto Exploration and Development Corp. round out the top five. The university’s smallest investment — $10,000 — is in National Refinery LTD, a Pakistani refinery.

Pressed for details, O’Leary couldn’t say whether potential market movements that could drive up the value of these investments would alter the university’s plans. He added there’s “conflicting evidence” of what impact the school’s plans may have on its financial returns.

The divestment of fossil fuels has never been a reasonable solution, said Jackie Forrest, senior director of Arc Energy Research Institute, which conducts economic and investment analysis for an energy-focused equity manager in Calgary. Oil demand isn’t changing, she said, and the idea that capital is at risk by continuing to invest in the sector is false. The oil and gas sector will still be producing about 73 million barrels per day in 2040, she added, and investors would instead be better served by looking for names that have a lower carbon cost.

“I think (divesting) simplifies the problem,” Forrest said. “By divesting of fossil fuels, I don’t think you’re doing anything to solve the world’s problems in terms of climate change.”

Top 5 Destinations For Pakistani Students

Top 5 Destinations For Pakistani Students

Studying abroad has its own perks and benefits. It is a great way to advance  social, academic and language skills, whilst it also offer students exposure and confidence which is profoundly appreciated when stepping into practical life. Study overseas can enhance their university years, and will also help them to attract future employers and find better jobs. Employers look for students who have studied abroad because of their diverse skills and education.

In today’s blog I have shared the best countries of the world for Pakistani students and why those countries are best to study abroad.

GERMANY:

Germany is a great place to study for Pakistani students as most German universities have Pakistani student societies making them feel comfortable and a little closer to home.

The country is known for studying business and hard sciences. Their education is quite efficient and involves the most modern technical studies.

It has become a popular destination among foreign students as German universities offer internationally recognized programs at a cheaper cost compare to UK, USA, or Australia. A huge number of scholarships are available that allow Pakistani students to study in Germany for free, the federal states with few exceptions, do not have any tuition fee. You can go to Munich to join a top rated international university without breaking the bank.

CANADA:

Canada ranked recently as the most desirable country for foreign students, providing hundreds of institutes with impressive quality education and a degree completed in Canada brings numerous benefits for student’s career and it is globally recognized.

English is one of the official languages of Canada and also the medium of teaching in most Canadian universities. Pakistani students are English literate so it is easy for them to study their desired program.

The Canadian government offers good funds and financial aid openings for international students, also several Canadian universities offer scholarship programs.

Vancouver is among top cities of Canada for international students. It is home to world’s 45th best university.

AUSTRALIA:

Australia is the most popular place for international students worldwide, and with sandy beaches, sunny weather and a hassle-free outdoor lifestyle, it is no surprise. Australian universities welcome foreign students and are well organized in providing funds to them.

Australia is home to high number of best universities which offers almost every major, making it the perfect destination for sun, sand and academic success. Students can apply for up to nine courses in Australia. A number of Australian universities compete with some of the leading and top-ranked institutions in the U.S., and the UK.

Some of the best student cities in the world are in Australia. Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Canberra are listed in the top 30 of the best student cities, best student cities tells the student’s experience which includes university environment, quality of studies, accommodation and facilities as well as leisure and entertainment.

UNITED KINGDOM:

United Kingdom is ideal for Pakistani students since English is the medium of conversation everywhere over there. As Pakistani students are English literate, they are more relaxed there.

United Kingdom has a wide variety of high quality universities, and although fees differ across institutions also which are slightly expensive but there are a lot of scholarship programs for foreign students to choose from. The UCAS permits most students to apply for up to five courses.

Numerous UK universities offer impressive scholarship programs for Pakistani students, these include:

Sheffield University Scholarship offers a full (100% discount) or half fee waiver.

University of the West of Scotland International Scholarship

The University of Edinburgh Global Masters scholarship

University of Leeds program for International Science and Engineering Undergraduate Scholarship

Newcastle University School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Overseas Scholarship

University of Glasgow Scholarship for School of Computing Science.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

USA is the luckiest studying abroad destination.  The choice of Universities in the US is quite mind confusing as it has the honor of being the home to world’s best and most top ranked university known as Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  In addition to that, world’s 3rd best ranked institute, Harvard University is also found in Boston (USA).  Moreover, from internationally renowned Ivy League institutions to hubs of innovation, whatever foreign students study here they surely have opportunities to add to their life experience.  It will not be wrong to say that there is no shortage of good educational institutes in this country.

US degrees reputation is outstanding globally which makes it even more attractive place to study and easy as well because US universities offer lots of support and amenities to students.

Higher Education Commission Pakistan (HEC) provides scholarships for Masters and PhD, with requirements like GRA, SAT, GMAT, TOEFL etc. There are programs originally designed by USA for Pakistani students, they work together to fund and send Pakistani students to USA.

Education is the fundamental cause of studying abroad trip and choosing the correct destination is an important factor to get the best out of that trip. If you are considering completing all or some of your studies abroad, choose your destination rationally to broaden your horizons and go overseas. BEST OF LUCK!!!!
