Job Summary
The UBC Sustainability Hub builds on UBC's position as a leader in campus sustainability, and works to reinforce the University's goal of providing an exceptional learning and research-rich environment that advances global citizenship and a civil and sustainable society.
In response to UBC’s Climate Emergency Declaration, the Climate Emergency Task Force (CETF) produced a report with 9 strategic priorities and 28 associated recommendations that span the community, academic (teaching, learning, and research) and operational dimensions of the university. Climate justice is a core theme woven throughout the Report.
The UBC Sustainability Hub, in partnership with the UBCO Provost Office, has the role of convening, coordinating and tracking implementation of the CETF strategic priorities and recommendations. The entire Sustainability Hub team is embedding CETF priorities into their work plans and programs.
Currently, one Project Specialist leads the development and implementation of a monitoring, evaluation and learning framework to track progress on CETF report implementation. We are seeking an additional Project Specialist to work on the following climate emergency priorities:

- and off-campus partnerships for Sustainability Hub programs to advance climate justice
- support the Climate Equity Action and Resilience (CLEAR) project to link UBC students and research to community groups and residents in Vancouver‘s Downtown Eastside with partner and stakeholder communication, and, hiring/supervising students.
This is a cross-functional term position that will support CETF Report implementation to ensure coordinated, coherent, measured change in priority areas in a manner that engages members of the community and key leaders across institutional units on both campuses.
Organizational Status
Reports to the Senior Director of the Sustainability Hub. Works in close collaboration with the Sustainability Hub team, as well as with faculties and units across campus.

- Draft reports summarizing information from stakeholders and others on relevant project and evaluation data, background materials, and briefing notes for senior Sustainability Hub staff, UBC leadership, and other stakeholders as needed.
- Collaborate in the development of the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) framework for the climate emergency at UBC. This may include activities such as indicator development, data collection, developing campus contacts on climate emergency priorities, and maintaining an accurate database of projects, programming, and initiatives taking place on campus or in planning stages that feed into the Climate Emergency implementation plan.
- Develop and manage various knowledge exchange activities such as a speaker series, webinars and workshops to disseminate, translate and mobilize climate emergency work to inform academic and practitioner bodies of knowledge and action to advance climate action and identify gaps for addition action that could benefit from university partnership.
- Manage the Sustainability Hub’s work on the CLEAR project, including:
