Our mission

From ClimateNetworkWiki

This is the mission statement of the Campus Climate Network

Universities and colleges are places where we can make change happen. We have diverse expertise, we have an enormous economic impact, including employment and purchasing power, we support research, innovation and nurture new ways of thinking. We create linkages between community, government and the private sector, and most of all - we are institutions of teaching and learning, shaping our future through tomorrow's leaders.

To realize this potential the students, staff, faculty, and administration of the university community must work together with the civil society groups, government, and progressive businesses in the regional community. The BC Campus Climate Network is coming together to make this happen.

We envision institutions of higher learning working together to help BC solve its climate crisis.

Our mission is to connect institutions of higher learning, enhancing their ability to harness the unique capacity of the academic environment to bring about climate change solutions.

Our role is to ensure collaboration in the following areas:

• Information sharing
• Administrative policy and securing commitment
• Government and institutional lobbying and funding
• Awareness and engagement
• Resource and coalition building
• Integrating research and education
