UBC's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, the University of British Columbia (UBC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,534,000 kg CO2e in Canada. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 52,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 87,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions. Additionally, significant Scope 3 emissions were recorded, with business travel contributing approximately 27,772,000 kg CO2e and employee commuting accounting for about 40,543,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, UBC's total emissions were approximately 3,085,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in emissions from the previous year. The university has set ambitious long-term climate commitments, aiming for net-positive operational energy and carbon performance by 2050, as outlined in the UBCO Whole Systems Infrastructure Plan (2016). Specific near-term targets include a 67% reduction in Scope 1 emissions by 2020, which UBC has achieved, and a goal of 100% reduction by 2050. UBC's commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated through its ongoing initiatives and reporting, which focus on reducing carbon footprints across various scopes of emissions. The university's efforts are not cascaded from any parent organization, reflecting its independent approach to climate action.
