Sustainability Coordinators (SCs) are UBC employees who dedicate 2-4 paid work hours per month with supervisor approval to build relationships and increase sustainability knowledge capacity within their units and to encourage their colleagues to adopt sustainable actions in their workplaces and the UBC campus through peer-to-peer learning and knowledge sharing.
Here we hope to regularly feature sustainability coordinators to celebrate their work and provide a roadmap for those looking to get involved!
