Taking Stock - Report on Sustainability in Universities and Colleges in BC

We would like to pass along a new report that aims to "take stock" of what is happening at colleges and universities across BC in terms of sustainability. In the report we are not attempting to "assess" or "rank" institutions...but instead get a sense of where we are at in order to make recommendations to government and to learn from one another.

In the report:

• We provide a sense of the level of commitment of BC’s institutions to sustainability
• We present the specific initiatives that individuals and the institutions have taken to advance the project of sustainability in terms of policy, campus operations and academic programming
• We provide a list of recognized barriers inhibiting the progress of sustainability
• We offer some exciting local stories of inspiration – stories from some of the visionary individuals and groups guiding BC along the path to sustainability
• We conclude the report with a discussion of principles of sustainability education and recommendations for action distilled from the priorities identified by study respondents
