Plan events with purpose—and a smaller footprint
We’re excited to share the launch of UBC Okanagan’s Green Events Guide, a practical resource for anyone planning events on campus. Whether you’re organizing a meeting, workshop, celebration, or large gathering, this guide offers simple, impactful ways to reduce your event’s environmental footprint—while supporting UBCO’s Climate Action Plan 2030.
The guide walks you through key areas of sustainable planning, including:
- Low-carbon transportation options for guests
- Waste reduction and reuse strategies
- Energy-efficient event practices
- Sustainable food and catering tips
- Environmentally responsible accommodation choices
Each section includes helpful checklists and links to campus programs, making it easier than ever to align your event with UBC’s climate goals.
Let’s make every event a climate action opportunity.
