Climate Research

Urban Sustainability Research Program

Explore how cities of the future can be built sustainably with the Urban Sustainability Research Program. This new initiative by the Centre for Climate and Business Solutions aims to provide actionable insights for real estate owners, developers, and policymakers to meet climate goals. By leveraging UBC's role as a living laboratory, we analyze various aspects of urban systems—including buildings, transportation, energy, and natural assets—to develop models and strategies that can decarbonize cities and support their transition to a sustainable future.
