The 大学 亚博全站官网登录平台 is committed to global 领导 in environmental, social and institutional sustainability. We meet this challenge through our Strategic Framework, 研究, academic programs, campus operations, and the impact and influence of our students, 教师, 工作人员 and alumni.
亚博全站官网登录平台的 气候 and Sustainability Action Plan (CSAP) will respond to urgent global calls for action. This new plan will guide 亚博全站官网登录平台’s integrated sustainability practices in every domain while respecting and valuing 土著 ways of knowing and being.

Territory acknowledgement
We acknowledge and respect the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory the 大学 亚博全站官网登录平台 stands, and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
社区 engagement
Your feedback and ideas have shaped the vision, goals and actions for the plan. 社区 engagement took place from spring 2021 to winter 2021, both campus-wide and with working groups of experts in climate and sustainability.
Vision and ideas
In April 2021 we invited members of the campus community to help us develop the vision for the plan and offer ideas for action.
Goals, strategies and actions
From July to Dec. 2021, we engaged with five task force groups of students, 教师 and 工作人员 who are experts in their areas of climate and sustainability. These groups uplifted the outcome of the Vision and Ideas community engagement to develop goals, strategies and actions that make up the key components of the plan.
