CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH AT SFU

Simon Fraser University (SFU) has an active Climate Change Research Program. Areas of research include greenhouse gas mitigation and sustainable energy systems (EMRG), climate change impacts (CCIRC), adaptation to climate change (ACT) and alternative energy with the Mechatronic Systems Engineering (MSE) Program, and the Human-Centered Systems for Sustainable Living and the Climate.

SFU is also a founding member of the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS). As a founding member, SFU researchers are well positioned to contribute to the development of innovative climate change solutions, seek new opportunities for positive adaptation to climate change solutions, and lead the way to a vibrant low carbon economy in BC and globally.

Climate Change Solutions has been identified as one of the main theme areas of the Strategic Research Plan for 2010 - 2015 elaborated by the Vice-President Research, Dr. Mario Pinto.
