Solutions Scholars Library

The Solutions Scholars program was established in 2023 to encourage interdisciplinary research in the areas of climate change mitigation, adaptation and education and to connect researchers across UBC's campuses.
 
The program supports graduate students to spend part of the academic year working on a solutions-oriented research project and receiving mentorship in interdisciplinary research and knowledge exchange.
 
This library includes some of the various deliverables produced by the Solutions Scholars throughout their term. In many cases, Scholars have journal articles in production which will be added to this library once published.
