Empowering Sustainability in Edmonton

As Edmonton faces increasing challenges related to environmental sustainability, this initiative offers students a unique opportunity to dive into the critical aspects of the city’s sustainability efforts. Focusing on key categories such as air, water, land, waste, energy, and food, students will analyze Edmonton's current sustainability landscape. By benchmarking against successful models in other cities around the world and engaging directly with the community, students will formulate actionable strategies to enhance sustainability in Edmonton.

This initiative promotes creative problem-solving and collaboration among students while also establishing a digital portfolio to showcase their work. Let’s empower our community to embrace sustainable practices—because a healthy, sustainable environment is essential for Edmonton’s growth and resilience!
