On Nov 24th we received a visit from Kimberly Mathisen, outgoing CEO of Microsoft Norway and becoming CEO of C4IR . The day was filled with discussions centered around the role data/ technology can play in tackling the big challenges the world is facing.


– In you I see future leaders with a growth mindset, qualities the world needs to tackle what is ahead of us. Action to tackle the climate crisis is urgent, and all sectors need to contribute. Avoiding an imminent crisis out of fear, is not a sufficient motivating factor. Change starts at a personal level, with everyone being involved. Kimberly is optimistic about a paradigm shift in the business world, not being driven solely by profit, but with a deeper understanding of the common good.

Finnish delegate to COP26 online at RCN

2021-11-12T09:51:01+01:00November 12th, 2021|

Thursday 11th November Ville Niinistö, former Minister of Environment for Finland, now Member of the European Parliament, had an online with all our students, who gathered in the auditorium. He was part of the Finnish delegation at the COP26. Now back in Brussels, he talked about the importance of recent events in Glasgow. The COP26 is the 5 years landmark after the Paris Agreement where the signatory countries evaluate their pledges and contributions and try to aim beyond the former 2°C goal and pursuing to keep temperature rise below 1.5°C. In his dialogue with the students, Mr Niinistö underlined the importance of natural carbon sinks and taxation as a powerful tool. He gave an insight into the complexities of the issues, that we are still far from having a framework for reaching the goals. Still big strides have been taken since Paris. Business, which previously was a sector with much resistance, now takes a leading role in making the shift. This was a student-led event, with Anna Blazkova and Kaapo Haapanen leading the online session. The overall impression was that it is urgent to contribute towards changes. The challenges ahead are demanding, but not impossible if we all sectors pull in the same direction and the individuals make efforts. A memorable event for our students, that we are connected with the arenas where it all is happening.

In recognition of this our global responsibility, and allowing for our individual contexts a Climate Commitment was signed by the Heads of all UWC schools and colleges in May. This event at our College was part of the educational element of the Commitment that will be followed by a Climate Action Film Festival in last weeks of the term.
