Climate Hub update message: January 2025

Over the last two years, Climate Hub staff and students have been exploring multiple options to continue programs and projects after the end of the last rounds of funds received in 2023 and 2024. In November, the Sustainability Student Council, which serves as the Climate Hub Student Advisory Committee, confirmed their recommendation of integrating Climate Hub programs with the Sustainability Hub’s Student Engagement programs to advance and strengthen them long-term. Following the departure of the Climate Hub Coordinator in 2023 and more recently the Projects Administrator in December 2024, Sustainability Hub staff are supporting this work. This past year we have piloted the successful integration of two Climate Hub programs (Youth Climate Ambassadors and Climate Wellbeing) into the Sustainability Ambassadors, and continue to evaluate how to best support student-led climate justice leadership at UBC. We are committed to sustaining and fostering student leadership in climate justice, and expect to have a further update for the community again in April 2025.
