Job Summary

Campus and Community Planning (C&CP) works collaboratively to create a vibrant and resilient campus for an engaged community on the traditional territory of the Musqueam people, taking a leading-edge approach to sustainability, engagement, community building, planning, design and development. C&CP is responsible for leading UBC’s operational sustainability plans that set UBC’s targets and actions for climate, transportation, waste and water, using UBC as a living lab for a sustainable future. These major plans for the UBC campus are endorsed by the UBC Board of Governors and have connections to many other UBC plans and strategies, including UBC’s Strategic Plan, 20-Year Sustainability Strategy, Inclusion Action Plan, Wellbeing Strategic Framework, and the UBC Climate Emergency Response, among others.

The Manager, Climate & Sustainability Engagement leads the strategic planning, development, and oversight of C&CP’s campus-wide engagement programs, initiatives, campaigns, strategies and other outreach that address UBC’s ambitious goals and targets for climate action and sustainability. These programs facilitate the creation of a culture of sustainability on campus; encourage adoption of high impact carbon reduction and resource conservation behaviours amongst staff, faculty and students; and directly support implementation of UBC’s campus-wide sustainability plans and policies, including the Climate Action Plan, Zero Waste Action Plan, Transportation Plan, and Engagement Strategy.

The position responsibilities include strategic planning, coordination and facilitating implementation of engagement and outreach programs that will play a key role in achieving the targets of UBC’s new Climate Action Plan 2030 (CAP2030), a major priority area of the university’s Climate Emergency Response. CAP2030 will have significantly expanded impact relative to previous plans, including accelerated GHG reduction targets for campus operations, and expansion of targets to include “extended impacts emissions” areas outside of core UBC operations. These extended impact emissions sources include business air travel, commuting, food and waste (which also incorporates procurement and reuse). Engagement programs are critical to address these extended impact areas, as reducing these emissions is dependent on staff, faculty and students’ actions and choices. The position also plays an important role in campus-wide communications related to the Climate Emergency and CAP2030, through collaborations with communications staff in C&CP and other departments.

The position is responsible for overseeing, creating new and developing updates to Campus & Community Planning sustainability and climate engagement programs, including those within the Workplace Sustainability portfolio (e.g. Sustainability Coordinator and Sustainable Offices), Zero Waste portfolio, and student engagement portfolio, that address UBC’s strategic priorities, sustainability and climate goals across campus through staff, faculty and student engagement.

The Manager supervises both staff and student positions that support engagement program delivery and engagement-specific communications activities through event and recruitment activity coordination/staffing; development and delivery of synchronous and asynchronous learning and training modules, workshops and webinars, materials, tools and toolkits; creation of such outreach as eNewsletters, social media posts, webpages and other digital content; data and metrics collection and analysis, and other program administration tasks.
