UBC’s 2020 Climate Action Plan aims to reduce their GHG emissions by 67% from 2007 levels and has already created a significant reduction to date. This year, 2017, has the potential to become a turning point to achieve UBC’s plan. UBC building operation reached agreement to reduce GHG emissions by 67% from 2007 levels by 2020. UBC has already reduced GHG emissions by 30% at the end of 2015, which is significantly lower than 2007 levels, and for the year of 2017, UBC wants to reach a 33% reduction by the end of 2016. UBC also aims to establish a framework to provide technological and financial support to reduce the potential costs for a wide variety of vehicles. Our strategy is to develop strong relationships with students and building operations by creating the bike-cargo-share program to help them transfer lightweight materials throughout campus.
