ConocoPhillips – Efforts to Develop Renewable Energy Sources Report (2007)
WHEREAS Due to the international requirements of the Kyoto Protocol, ConocoPhillips is facing unprecedented pressure to reduce emissions and meet clean energy demands, and growing public pressure to make significant emissions reductions.

EcoLogic’s mission is to protect Latin American biodiversity while alleviating rural poverty: lofty goals that aren’t always seen as congruent, even within the conservation …

The ruling came in a case brought by fishing and conservation groups seeking to restore environmental protections primarily from logging and road building projects on steep, landslide-prone hillsides. The environmental safeguards, known as the Aquatic Conservation Strategy, were developed in 1994 as part of the Northwest Forest Plan. Leading scientists developed the ACS to protect salmon and clean water by requiring that logging, road …
