Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
To measure its GHG emissions, UBC established a Technical Advisory Committee of academic, operations, staff and student members in 2007. The initial inventory used the World Resources Institute Greenhouse Gas Protocol to quantify 2006 emissions, which include direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2), and optional emissions (Scope 3). The committee elected to adopt the broadest approach to scoping the institution’s GHGs including faculty, staff and student daily commuting, and paper procurement, among other items. This was based on the recognition that UBC has a sphere of influence to reduce emissions beyond its operational boundary.
Note: The "embodied emissions from other purchased products" refers to paper purchases.
