UBC has committed to the integration of our operational and academic efforts in sustainability and the Sustainability Hub (formerly know as the UBC Sustainability Initiative), established in 2010, is our way of advancing this broad goal.
The Sustainability Hub undertakes key cross-cutting functions such as connector, curator and facilitator of a wide breadth of sustainability programs and activities across campus.
In partnership with many other groups, we help integrate and enhance sustainability themes into teaching, learning, and student engagement activities, support interdisciplinary urban research, advance regional and international engagement with sustainability partners, manage UBC’s Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability, and host the UBC office of the Pacific Institute of Climate Solutions.
Our name today reflects a stronger emphasis on engagement, and our goal to catalyze change for a just and sustainable world. Our five-year strategic plan outlines how we will activate our mission, "Inspiring people to act upon the planet’s most urgent challenges through UBC’s academic and operational sustainability leadership".
