How is Climate Change Affecting Our Lives?o World Meteorological Organization: 14 of 15 Hottest Years on
Record Have Been in the 21st Centuryo We’re all affected
o What impacts of climate change have you seen in the U.S.?
o Climate Refugees and the Global Neighbor
o What is happening around the world?

Three Impacts by 2100: Drought, Flood, and Heat
Drought: Increases in intensity and/or duration of drought Century is likely.
Flooding: Increased incidence and/or magnitude of extreme high sea level is very likely
Warmer and/or more frequent hot days and nights over most land areas is virtually certain.
Consequences for Human Suffering: Hunger and Climate Refugees
UN Food and Agriculture data going since 1980 in all major crop-growing regions show that warming temperatures are reducing yields.
Scientists predict the number of people displaced by natural disasters will rise to at least 50 million by 2050. Some say it could be as high as 200 million.

Catholic Sources for Energy Ethics

6 Sources for Energy Ethics
Laudato Si’: COMPREHENSIVE
Vatican book: Energy, Justice and Peace: ANALYTICAL
Global Bishops’ Lima Document: RADICAL
“Catholic Moral Traditions and Energy Ethics”: APPLIED
Pope Francis’s Address to the UN: CONCRETE
Global Bishops October Appeal: CHALLENGING
LS 52: The Obligation of Superdeveloped Nations
“The developed countries ought to help pay [their ecological] debt by significantly limiting their consumption of non-renewable energy and by assisting poorer countries to support policies and programmes of sustainable development.
The poorest areas and countries are less capable of adopting new models for reducing environmental impact because they lack the wherewithal to develop the necessary processes and to cover their costs.”
Where are we Going? The Radical Roadmap of the Global Catholic Bishops
o Statement to the Lima Conference of the Parties:
o Keep temperature rise to 1.5 ‘ Celsius
o End the fossil fuel era
o Move to 100% renewables
o Protect communities suffering from the
impacts of climate change
Primary Energy Consumption by Source, 1949-2014
U.S. Energy Information Administration, Monthly Energy Review
Energy decisions are ethical decisions.
Avoiding the worst impacts of climate change for all requires a rapid shift to a low-carbon economy.
Catholic social teaching offers ethical direction.
There are actions everyone can take in a spirit of subsidiarity and solidarity.

Catholic Energy Ethic: Principles from the US Bishops
o LIFE
o RESPONSIBILITY
o COMMON GOOD
o DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE
o ENERGY ACCESS FOR THE POOR
o PARTICIPATION AND TRANSPARENCY
o TECHNOLOGICAL PRUDENCE
Catholic Energy Ethic: . . . and Priorities
o End coal, oil, shale gas and tar sands
o Use natural gas carefully as a bridge with an endpoint
o End subsidies for fossil fuels
o Invest in R&D for renewable technologies and systems
How Much Renewable Energy is Needed by When?o The consensus from six models of potential global
energy sources and technology systems is that:
o If we are to have a 70% chance of remaining below a 2’C temperature increase by 2100,
o 50-75% renewable energy by 2100
o To have a reasonable chance of not exceeding 1.5’C warming, we need decarbonization by 2050
o 42% renewable energy by 2030
o McCollum et al; CAFOD, “Energy in the Post 2015 Development Framework

Patz et al, “Climate Change and Global Health: Quantifying a Growing Ethical Crisis”. The top map is distorted to show the cumulative carbon dioxide emissions from 1950 to 2000. The second is distorted to show the health effects of malaria, malnutrition, diarrhea, and inland flood-related fatalities.
Climate Change’s Unequal Impact
Love the Lord your God with all your being and your neighbor as yourself: INSTITUTIONALLY
The unity of love of God and neighbor includes the institutions which are inseparable from our lives and our moral influence
Catholics have a Eucharistic, incarnational spirituality
We care about the integrity of our institutions
The Climate-Energy-Inequality Nexus
Climate Change’s Unequal Impacts
Environmental Injustice / Racism
Energy Poverty - US
Energy Poverty- International
The Top Four Billion, the Bottom Three Billion
Pope Francis: “Inequity affects not only individuals but entire countries.”
Our institutions have power.
Remember the parable of the sower . .
. . . and the widow.
The call to live out an energy ethics proceeds from the universal call to holiness (Lumen gentium).
“Environmental ethics are crucial sites of agency for lay people with multiple forms of expertise.”

Green Energy Overview
The Driver: 30% reduction in GHG’s by 2020 KP making major purchase of clean energy
– Two separate renewable-energy deals onsite generation of solar energy & purchase of wind
and solar energy from offsite sources
Together two clean-energy projects:– Combined output of about 590 million kWh/year of green
power for 20 years – Produce 50% of electricity KP uses in California
Roughly enough clean energy to power 82,000 U.S. homes
– Help reduce our GHG emissions by at least 30% Achieving GHG-reduction goal 3 years ahead of promised
– Make KP one of top users of renewable energy in the country We are already currently largest solar energy users among
health care providers .

Performance Disclosure
23
The inception date of S&P US Carbon Efficient Index was March 9, 2009, at the market close . All information presented prior to the index inception date is back-tested. The back-test calculations are based on the same methodology that was in effect when the index was officially launched. Complete index methodology details are available at www.spindices.com . Past performance is not an indication of future results. Prospective application of the methodology used to construct the Index may not result in performance commensurate with the back-test returns shown. The back-test period does not necessarily correspond to the entire available history of the Index. Please refer to the methodology paper for the Index, available at www.spdji.com or www.spindices.com for more details about the index, including the manner in which it is rebalanced, the timing of such rebalancing, criteria for additions and deletions, as well as all index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. Another limitation of back-tested hypothetical information is that generally the back-tested calculation is prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Back-tested data reflect the application of the index methodology and selection of index constituents in hindsight. No hypothetical record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, there are numerous factors related to the equities (or fixed income, or commodities) markets in general which cannot be, and have not been accounted for in the preparation of the index information set forth, all of which can affect actual performance. The Index returns shown do not represent the results of actual trading of investible assets/securities. S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC maintains the Index and calculates the Index levels and performance shown or discussed, but does not manage actual assets. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase the securities underlying the Index or investment funds that are intended to track the performance of the Index. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause actual and back-tested performance of the securities/fund to be lower than the Index performance shown. As a simple example, if an index returned 10% on a US $100,000 investment for a 12-month period (or US$ 10,000) and an actual asset-based fee of 1.5% was imposed at the end of the period on the investment plus accrued interest (or US$ 1,650), the net return would be 8.35% (or US$ 8,350) for the year. Over 3 years, an annual 1.5% fee taken at year end with an assumed 10% return per year would result in a cumulative gross return of 33.10%, a total fee of US$ 5,375, and a cumulative net return of 27.2% (or US$ 27,200).
