Â鶹ÊÓƵ

For the dedicated Â鶹ÊÓƵ (SFU) researchers whose work contributes to a sustainable future, each and every day is Earth Day. Scholars across all Â鶹ÊÓƵfaculties have a long history of pursuing research that advances our understanding of the natural world and addresses environmental concerns.

Â鶹ÊÓƵresearch programs focus on innovations in green energy development and transportation, natural resource management, climate modelling, fisheries and oceans, and biodiversity. Researchers engage with communities to exchange knowledge and respond to climate challenges, while advocating with policymakers to enact change. Recently, Â鶹ÊÓƵembedded the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its operations, research, academics and community engagement, reinforcing its commitment to the welfare of people and the planet. We also joined the UN-led Race To Zero global campaign to act on climate change and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 at the latest.

In appreciation of Earth Week, we are highlighting just some of the Â鶹ÊÓƵscholars making an impact towards a cleaner, greener, more sustainable future: 

Â鶹ÊÓƵscholars can reach out to their faculty communications and marketing team for support sharing their work as a news story or on social channels. They can become Â鶹ÊÓƵmedia experts, pitch an article to The Conversation Canada, or nominate their work for a Scholarly Impact of the Week profile.
