Mobilizing Alberta
Given the global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and to ground climate solutions in equity and justice, there is a momentous opportunity to build a healthy, just and climate-safe future.
Mobilizing Alberta (MA) is a five-year initiative at the UCalgary that is led by the Office of Sustainability and undertaken with the financial support of a $1.6 million grant from the Government of Canada through the Environmental Damages Fund.
Many communities across Southern Alberta are already leading the way in the implementation of innovative and equitable climate solutions. Mobilizing Alberta aims to strengthen capacity for advancing climate action across Southern Alberta by:
- Providing grants for climate action projects that bring together community organizations with UCalgary faculty and students.
- Offering a "Preparing Albertans for Climate Change" free e-course.
- Organizing a series of events open to the campus community and public to generate climate awareness and inspire action.
