In 2023, the University of British Columbia (UBC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,534,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 2,534,000 kg CO2e, which encompasses mobile combustion (52,000 kg CO2e) and fugitive emissions (87,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions accounted for approximately 2,379,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were about 155,000 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services (13,000 kg CO2e). UBC 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 reduction targets include a 67% reduction in Scope 1 emissions by 2020, with a goal of achieving 100% reduction by 2050. These targets reflect UBC's commitment to sustainability and climate action, aligning with industry standards for carbon management. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all figures are reported directly from UBC's sustainability initiatives.
