Public Engagement in UBC’s Climate Action Plan Glor-Bell, Jessica (Jeca)

Abstract

This professional project report characterizes and analyzes community engagement in UBC’s Integrated Climate Action Framework (ICAF). The UBC Sustainability Office requested that this study: 1. Document and classify the past and current processes of consultation in the ICAF. 2. Provide recommendations for future engagement activities based on an accurate and rigorous analysis. 3. Present these recommendations in an accessible and user-friendly way. In this report I introduce the ICAF structure and the 12 community engagement mechanisms employed by the UBS Sustainability Office (SO) from June 2007 to December 2008 (Chapter 3). I then map the engagement mechanisms onto the Spectrum of Public Engagement. Based on this mapping, I further synthesize the 12 ICAF engagement mechanisms into six avenues for campus community engagement in the ICAF (Chapter 4).
