SFU's Strategic Sustainability And Climate Action Plan

SFU's original five-year sustainability plan defined the university's sustainability and climate action goals from 2020 to 2025, guiding our institution to prioritize climate justice, resilience and action in all its work. Building off this plan, SFU's 2022-2025 Strategic Sustainability and Climate Action Plan is a refreshed plan that will continue as a living document and process to reflect an adaptive planning and implementation process.
