The Solutions Scholars Program connects graduate students with scholarly research projects on climate change mitigation, adaptation, and/or education.
In September 2024, four interdisciplinary research cohorts began working together on Solutions Scholars projects. Supported by faculty from across the UBC campus, fourteen graduate students have contributed to projects related to heatwave forecasting and communication, evaluating carbon offset programs, using Large Language Models to ‘chat’ with IPCC reports, and advancing climate mitigation and adaptation in agroecological landscapes.
At this in-person event, we will hear from each project team about the progress of their projects, followed by an opportunity to gather in small tables to dive deeper into individual projects as well as broader related research questions.
Who should attend? Anyone interested in learning more about current research initiatives at UBC and who would like to engage with researchers in conversations related to these projects. UBC Faculty, students and community members are all welcome.
Light refreshments will be provided.
