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.
