SCARP PhD students run a forum to share and invite questions about their emerging research findings, whether to each other or publicly. This time: Ana Polgár presents: "Addressing Data Scarcity and Scales to Contextualise Risks and Nature in the City"!
SCARP Assis. Prof. Holly Caggiano, as well as Sara Nawaz, Director of Research at American U’s Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal (& IRES alum!) argue we can and should reorient carbon removal to support equitable climate mitigation efforts.
SCARP is thrilled to celebrate that SCARP students Avery Chan and Brinnae Cooper are joining an exclusive delegation representing UBC at the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties!
SCARP PhD student Ana Polgár is thrilled to share that her first first-author article has just been published, "A Quick-Scan Methodology Incorporating Local Knowledge for Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessments Applied in Kampala".
UBC and the School of Community and Regional Planning gather and teach on the traditional ancestral and unceded territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people.
This acknowledgement is only the beginning of our due diligence: our commitment is shown not in our affirmations but our actions.
Approach planning in your vision. Attain the knowledge, skills, and applied experiences to be the facilitators and leaders of positive change. Build your network.
As a SCARP student, you already have resources available to help you through your program and begin your journey as a planner.
SCARP will continue to benefit you throughout your journey as a planner, with resources, networking, and a lot more. You have a network of peers, too. (photo credit: Mulugeta Ayene, for WLE-CGIAR)
