Neighbourhood Climate Action Plan

NCAP will provide policy directions, targets and actions in key climate action areas including buildings, transportation, waste and materials, neighbourhood infrastructure, ecology, and climate emergency preparedness, with specific considerations to meet the unique conditions and needs of the university neighbourhoods. This means new construction, operations and where possible existing buildings, will need to comply with new guidelines and rules that will lead to less emissions, energy consumption and waste.

Planning for the future 

As the university plans for growth through Campus Vision 2050 and with the increased frequency of intense climate events, there is a renewed and urgent focus on climate action, as outlined in UBC’s Climate Emergency Response. NCAP will support this by identifying a roadmap to net zero emissions, guided by the climate mitigation and adaptation strategies outlined in Campus Vision 2050. 

The Neighborhood Climate Action Plan will be informed by the following plans and policies:  

NCAP will be developed with engagement with the University Neighbourhoods Association, the neighbourhood community, and UBC Properties Trust.
