Here to build a better future
Simon Fraser University is stepping up to build a sustainable, resilient and inclusive economic recovery. Our faculty, students and staff are engaged with people and organizations in Canada and around the world to drive innovation, improve public health, fight climate change, promote democracy, and create exciting new economic opportunities. In these, and so many other ways, we’re here to help shape a better future for everyone.
We help decolonize planetary health to benefit human health. Resource and environmental management professor Clifford Atleo advocates for an anti-colonial, anti-racist, reciprocal approach to addressing climate change and global health inequities in order to benefit human health.
We pioneer innovative research-to-practice approaches to climate change. Climate change and sustainability scholar and practitioner Alison Shaw works to find innovative solutions to climate change while advancing equity, biodiversity and other social, environmental and economic objectives.
