The UBC/UW Summer Institute in Sustainability is an award-winning professional development program designed to empower those taking a leadership role in developing policy, creating plans, and managing sustainability initiatives. 

Experts from corporate, academic and government sectors share their knowledge on implementing programs and developing strategies that integrate the triple bottom line perspective of people, planet and profits. Learn to develop policies, plans and procedures that are mindful of public policy, stakeholder interest, and the triple bottom line of people, planet, and profits.

Who Should Participate?

This intensive and intimate educational experience will appeal to those from a variety of job types, including consultants, managers and administrators from business and academic settings, and those working across all levels of government.
