The Centre for Climate and Business Solutions at UBC Sauder School of Business is a dynamic hub for climate-focused business education and problem-driven research. Grounded in robust research and a commitment to innovation and partnership, the Centre is dedicated to transforming ambitious sustainability goals into practical, actionable strategies, fostering a climate-positive future.
