University Canada West's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Global University Systems B.V.

University Canada West, headquartered in Canada, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The institution is a current subsidiary of Global University Systems B.V., which may influence its climate strategies and reporting practices. Despite the lack of detailed emissions data, University Canada West is committed to sustainability and climate action. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in the available information. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests that the university is still in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As a part of the broader educational sector, University Canada West is likely to align with industry standards and practices regarding carbon emissions and sustainability, but specific details on their initiatives or targets are currently unavailable.
