UBC's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, the University of British Columbia (UBC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,534,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 2,534,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 2,379,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Additionally, UBC's Scope 3 emissions were recorded at about 155,000 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services. Over the years, UBC has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. The university has achieved a significant reduction in emissions per student, decreasing from approximately 860 kg CO2e in 2007 to about 740 kg CO2e in 2023. This reflects a broader trend of decreasing emissions per square metre of building space, which has also seen a decline from 39 kg CO2e/m² in 2007 to 24 kg CO2e/m² in 2023. Despite these achievements, UBC has not specified any formal reduction targets or climate pledges in its current documentation. The university continues to focus on sustainability initiatives aimed at further reducing its carbon emissions and enhancing its climate resilience.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
UBC is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
