This Wiki contains a wealth of resources for sustainability educators, students, and others in the university community and culminates the needs analysis phase of a collaborative project on enhancing sustainability and climate education for the Simon Fraser University community.
All resources were collected between 2021 and 2023, by Maria Spiliotopoulou, Manager, Regenerative Systems Education with SFU Sustainability, and Sooji Choe, Resource and Environmental Management student and Work-Study student with SFU Sustainability, in partnership with Janet Pivnick, Educational Developer with SFU's Centre for Educational Excellence.
Through the navigation menu, you will find four pages under Resources:
Transdisciplinary resources for sustainability learning and teaching: can be useful for educators and students in any field or discipline; include links and short descriptions; can be sorted by title or major theme
Sustainability learning and teaching in the disciplines: more specific to a field or discipline; include links and short descriptions; can be sorted by SFU faculty or department
Sustainability education resources & initiatives at SFU: links to initiatives and resources in the SFU community; however, for up-to-date information, see the official SFU sustainability page
Sustainability education in other higher education institutions: links to initiatives and resources in other higher education institutions in Canada and globally (information last updated in April 2023)
Please note that:
The Wiki's lists of resources have been curated but not pedagogically designed by an educational developer, nor vetted by Simon Fraser University
The initiatives and website links were last updated in November 2023 (except the page on other higher education institutions which was last updated in April 2023); we therefore hold no responsibility for inactive links past this date
Any resource overlap in the spreadsheets is intentional and meant to facilitate the use of these resources by a broad range of SFU community members
Photos from focus groups conducted in spring 2023 at SFU. Participants included students, staff, and faculty members.
If you are an instructor or workshop facilitator, feel free to also peruse this page for climate learning design ideas, based on our research and on community input.
