Climate Funding Opportunities

At the Centre for Climate and Business Solutions, we advance research at the intersection of climate and business. Our goal is to generate evidence-based insights that inform decision-making, guide industry practice, and support the transition to a low-carbon economy.

We fund research that explores the business implications of climate change, spanning sustainable finance, operations, innovation, and policy. We help foster collaboration between UBC researchers and industry partners to ensure outcomes have real-world impact.

Our funding programs are guided by several key principles:

• Collaboration: We encourage partnerships between UBC researchers, other faculties, and industry partners to generate interdisciplinary insights and develop solutions that reflect diverse expertise.
• Impact: Projects should influence both academic discourse and real-world practices, contributing meaningfully to the transition to a low-carbon economy.
• Innovation: We value novel approaches that challenge conventional thinking and explore new avenues for addressing complex climate challenges.
• Knowledge Sharing: We prioritize projects with clear plans for disseminating findings through publications, seminars, and public engagement to maximize their impact.

Whether advancing theory through academic research or delivering immediate solutions through applied projects, our funding programs aim to accelerate climate action through research that matters. We are committed to creating a platform where innovation flourishes, sustainable practices are integrated into businesses, and meaningful change is achieved.
