Date	Main spill January 28 to February 7, 1969; gradually tapering off by April
Cause
Cause	Well blowout <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_(well_drilling)> during drilling from offshore oil platform
Spill characteristics
Volume	80,000 to 100,000 barrels (13,000 to 16,000 m3)
Shoreline impacted	Southern California: Pismo Beach <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pismo_Beach,_California> to the Mexican border, but concentrated near Santa Barbara <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Barbara,_California>
The Santa Barbara oil spill occurred in January and February 1969 in the Santa Barbara Channel <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Barbara_Channel>, near the city of Santa Barbara <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Barbara,_California> in Southern California <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_California>. It was the largest oil spill in United States waters <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_territory#Maritime_territory_of_the_United_States> by that time, and now ranks third after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_Horizon_oil_spill> and 1989 Exxon Valdez <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exxon_Valdez_oil_spill> spills. It remains the largest oil spill to have occurred in the waters off California.
The source of the spill was a blow-out <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_(well_drilling)> on January 28, 1969, 6 miles (10 km) from the coast on Union Oil <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Oil>'s Platform A in the Dos Cuadras Offshore Oil Field <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dos_Cuadras_Offshore_Oil_Field>. Within a ten-day period, an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 barrels (13,000 to 16,000 m3)[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Santa_Barbara_oil_spill#cite_note-1> of crude oil <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crude_oil> spilled into the Channel and onto the beaches of Santa Barbara County <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Barbara_County,_California> in Southern California, fouling the coastline from Goleta <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goleta,_California> to Ventura <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventura,_California> as well as the northern shores of the four northern Channel Islands <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_Islands_of_California>. The spill had a significant impact on marine life in the Channel, killing an estimated 3,500 sea birds,[2] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Santa_Barbara_oil_spill#cite_note-2> as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals, and sea lions. The public outrage engendered by the spill, which received prominent media coverage in the United States, resulted in numerous pieces of environmental legislation within the next several years, legislation that forms the legal and regulatory framework for the modern environmental movement in the U.S.[3] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Santa_Barbara_oil_spill#cite_note-Clarke-3>[4] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Santa_Barbara_oil_spill#cite_note-Distillations-4>[5] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Santa_Barbara_oil_spill#cite_note-Baker-5>[6] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Santa_Barbara_oil_spill#cite_note-DailySound-6>[7 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Santa_Barbara_oil_spill#cite_note-7>

2020 The Climate Turning Point 
The historic and legally binding Paris Agreement gave us a roadmap to address climate change once and for all. 195 nations universally adopted this agreement, committing to holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°c above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°c.

IT’S NECESSARY
IT’S DESIRABLE
IT’S ACHIEVABLE

Bending the curve of emissions by 2020 is the only way to limit global warming and ensure that the Sustainable Development Goals remain within our reach. It will also pave the way to delivering a just transition to net zero emissions by 2050.
