The project enables student leaders to continue to make change in the realm of sustainability following project completion.Education & AwarenessThe project raises awareness of sustainability issues and solutions, including information that is beyond common knowledge. The project may involve traditional education, publicity, outreach campaigns or other methods. Education should be evidence-based but artistic and/or creative expression is also munity OrganizingThe project grows the sustainability movement – or a sustainability-related movement – by engaging UBC community members, equipping them to act and growing the network of individuals dedicated to a cause. The project may target individuals that do not already identify as part of the movement and/or help people already interested in sustainability in building skills and growing their networks. The project helps build a sense of community. OperationsThe project improves the environmental, ecological and/or socially sustainable operations of the AMS and/or UBC Vancouver. The project should ideally connect to sustainability and wellbeing planning efforts or goals already underway at UBC.

The project builds collaborations with off campus sustainability organizations and/or communities that would benefit from sustainability support. Appendix B: Sustainability CompetenciesSustainability competencies describe specific attributes that are critical for creating meaningful change and advancing a sustainable future. The following sustainability competencies have been adapted from the key competencies outlined in the UNESCO Education for Sustainable Development Goals Learning Objectives. These competencies are recognized by the United Nations as necessary for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Applicants must show how they have demonstrated at least one of these competencies in developing their projects and explain how they will employ that competency throughout project implementation. Applicants only need to demonstrate one competency but are invited to discuss more if they so wish. The purpose of this section is to encourage applicants to think about how they can make their projects most effective and avoid unintended negative petencyDescriptionSystems thinking competencySystems thinking is the ability to recognize the various systems involved in any one problem and consider the interactions between whole systems and their individual components. Systems thinking involves examining different domains (e.g. society, ecology, economy, culture, politics, science, etc.) across different scales (e.g. local, regional, global).Projects that embrace systems thinking will consider the broad, complex systems under which the issue they are tackling falls, and will recognize the interconnections between relevant domains, systems and structures.Critical thinking competencyCritical thinking is the ability to recognize the assumptions underlying our knowledge, worldviews and opinions and to question our norms and current practices.Projects that employ critical thinking will challenge the status quo, embrace risk taking and offer new lenses to think about sustainability. They may also embrace new viewpoints that run contrary to the dominant political, cultural and social discourse.Ethics competencyThe ethics competency is the ability to consider the ethical impact of sustainability projects and use this understanding to develop solutions that are ethical for people and the planet. This competency recognizes that multiple issues must be considered when developing solutions and that sustainability intersects with other principles like justice, human rights, accessibility and community building. Projects that invoke the ethics competency will critically consider the impacts of the project on environmental, social and economic justice. They should help build a more just future, for example by empowering marginalized communities, promoting social equity or addressing the interconnections between environmental and social issues.?Collaboration competencyThe collaboration competency is the ability to work together with different stakeholders. It involves learning from others, understanding and respecting their needs and developing solutions that integrate different perspectives.Projects that embrace collaboration will bring together stakeholders from a variety of disciplines and/or backgrounds to share their perspectives and develop holistic solutions together. Strategic competencyThe strategic competency is the ability to analyze various options and determine the most effective and impactful solutions. It involves proposing innovative solutions, thinking outside the box and overcoming constraints.Projects that embrace the strategic competency will find leverage points within the institutions they are working in and take advantage of these leverage points to create change. They will also be sure to avoid redundancy with other initiatives. They may choose to focus on solutions that address gaps in sustainability efforts. ................
