LibGuides: Sustainability: Sustainability at Emily Carr University

Introduction

There are many sustainability initiatives taking place at ECU. The 'Building + Facilities', 'Community' and 'Pedagogy + Research' pages of this guide gather together information on sustainability at Emily Carr University, both past and present. Resources include research projects and partnerships, student organizations, school programs, exhibitions, campus and community initiatives, and information about the physical building. This guide is an ongoing work and is by no means exhaustive, so please contact us at library@ecuad.ca if you would like us to add a project, or change an existing link to a more current page.

DRAFT Climate + Sustainability Action Plan
After more than two years of work and consultation, the ECU Climate Action Task Force is excited to share the draft Sustainability + Climate Action Plan with the Emily Carr community.

The plan includes a wide range of actions to address the climate crisis, as well as broad environmental and social injustice.

The Climate Action Task Force (CATF) was formed by the President as a response to discussions with the University Senate and to student climate activism. The goal was to formulate new strategies, policies and practices to support a university-wide commitment to address the climate crisis. The task force is made of faculty, students and staff representating all areas of the university.
