Thu, February 16, 2017 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CENTRE FOR INTERACTIVE RESEARCH ON SUSTAINABILITY (CIRS). Free.. As a university, we accelerate and advance sustainability not only on campus, but beyond. Join us over a healthy lunch selection as we reflect on our collective sustainability efforts over the past year across teaching, learning and research, operations and infrastructure, and community and wellbeing.
The 2015/2016 fiscal year culminated in many sustainability successes, including a 30 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a second consecutive Gold STARS rating from the Association for Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
Dr. James Tansey, Executive Director of the UBC Sustainability Initiative and the Sauder School of Business Centre for Social Innovation and Impact Investing, will present highlights from the University's annual sustainability achievements, followed by an opportunity to engage with a broader UBC community of sustainability champions, leaders and ambassadors.
