What happens when you give bright and engaged students real-world sustainability problems to solve?
UBC Sustainability Scholars are helping to generate real change in the world. Join them to learn more about what local governments, institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are doing to future-proof our people, our cities, and our urban spaces.
Wednesday, Oct. 2, 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. PDT, in-person
This afternoon of engaged discussions will cover a range of sustainability projects produced by UBC graduate students, in collaboration with partners that include the City of Vancouver, Metro Vancouver, BC Hydro, TransLink, local health authorities, local governments, NGOs, and many others.
Following the opening remarks and keynote by Andrea Reimer, this year’s Sustainability Scholars will present their projects in themed panel sessions throughout the afternoon. Panels will be moderated by experts from UBC and Sustainability Scholars Program partners.
This event will be held at UBC in the Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS), and is free to all. Registration is required.
