“We have proven that Europe can address issues that matter to Europeans—issues that no single country can solve alone. (…) We know that we are stronger, safer, and achieve more when we are together.” On May 1, 2004, ten countries, including Poland, became members of the EU, completing a long process that united Europe after decades of division by the Iron Curtain. Today, Poland is a strong pillar of Europe, and Poles are among the nations that most support the European Union.

The University of Warsaw is taking an increasing number of initiatives to support the climate and protect the natural environment. Through its mission and strategy implemented in research, teaching, and social activities, UW has undertaken a series of initiatives, programs, and projects that help to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Universities have a distinctive role in shaping both society and the world at large. Our task is to educate as large an audience as possible, including future decision makers. There is no spare Earth; we have one chance – there is something worth fighting for.

We firmly believe that the transformation processes require an effective, multi-stakeholder dialogue among European member states, taking into account the specificity of individual countries and their economies. Only mutual understanding and respect for different perspectives will ensure the necessary social support and strengthen energy security in Europe.

The current geopolitical situation has shown that the European energy transformation has neglected the aspect of energy security, recognizing the importance and necessity of relying on natural gas as a so-called transitional fuel. The brutal aggression of Russia, which is the main supplier of this resource to the EU, should change this attitude. The Union should rely much more on its own resources – on renewable sources and nuclear energy, which also guarantee a significant degree of energy sovereignty.

The lack of certain actions, negligence, and crime put us at direct risk in aspects related to the environment. The state’s tools for protecting citizens from increasingly new threats require new regulations, flexible and active state responses, and services capable of acting effectively in such situations.

Responsibility for new generations, the future, and the environment, recognizing climate change, and the ability to envision that humans are at the center of transformation—these are among the most important elements of building the world we live in. (…) Everything that leads us to climate recovery pathways through new technologies should already be the highest priority for both the state and society.

The better the condition of ecosystems, the healthier the entire planet and its inhabitants will remain. We do this for all of us—to be able to operate and develop business with peace of mind.

We see daily that our clients are guided by values. They talk about social responsibility and service culture. We receive a lot of feedback from both our clients and employees, which is strongly focused on ESG elements.
