5 David Suzuki Foundation

Jim Fulton, Executive Director

The world is well-served by dedicated environmental organizations that target specific ecological problems. Our goal is not to duplicate this important work, but to step back, to study the underlying structures and systems that cause environmental crises and then work to bring about fundamental change. We do that in four ways:

Research: The David Suzuki Foundation seeks out and commissions the best, most up-to-date

research to help reveal ways we can live in balance with nature. Education: We work to ensure the solutions developed through research and application reach the widest possible audience, and help mobilize broadly supported change. Application: We support the implementation of ecologically sustainable models—from local projects, such as habitat restoration, to international initiatives, such as the development of better frameworks for economic decisions. Advocacy: We urge decision makers to adopt policies that encourage and guide individuals and businesses, so their daily decisions reflect the need to act within nature’s constraints.

17 McGill University Project on Community-Based Environmental Decision Support Thom Meredith, Director

The McGill project on Community-Based Environmental Decision Support unifies a group of researchers working specifically on the role of environmental data, information and knowledge (traditional and scientific), and the role of information technology (including but not limited to GIS) in local environmental decision-making. We work in rural areas, particularly in communities with a strong economic dependence on ecological resources, and we have researchers working in many developing areas around the world. The project has close links with the Centre for Society, Technology and Development, which is a multidisciplinary research unit that focuses on social and technological aspects of sustainable development and to the McGill School of Environment, which is a radical reorganization of McGill's environmental teaching program. It focuses on empowering

students to contribute to positive change. While it is not a research unit in itself, it has recruited new faculty to McGill and brings together researchers from across the university.

Royal Roads University was opened in September 1995 with a mandate to offer applied programming. Our early focus was on producing our undergraduate and graduate programs in

Environmental Science and Environment and Management. At the same time a self-sustaining applied research division was created to foster environmental research. The two divisions work closely together in sustainable development initiatives. We are particularly interested in the following issues: Water and Wastewater Research, Atmospheric and Ecological Monitoring and Assessment, Environmental Changes in Large Ecosystems and Driving Forces, Environmental Policy, Green Business Development, Evaluation and Assessment of Educational Models, Greening of

Municipalities. To this end we have set-up a Water and Wastewater Training and Research Centre jointly with the public and private sector.

23 Sustainable Development Research Institute, University of British Columbia John Robinson, Professor, SDRI and Dept. of Geography

SDRI was established in 1991 to initiate and contribute to multidisciplinary research on the linkages between the environment, the economy and social equity. SDRI is a vehicle for the development and coordination of sustainable development initiatives at UBC and a process for encouraging

interdisciplinary collaboration among the faculty departments and centres at UBC and other provincial institutes undertaking environmental research. It serves as a regional link with government, the private sector, and other research institutions engaged in sustainable development research across Canada. SDRI’s orientation is focused on producing applied, policy-relevant and interdisciplinary research. We believe that there is an increasing need to move away form predicting the negative impact of environmentally unsustainable behavior. Instead, our country must move in the direction of articulating ecologically and socio-economically desirable futures, and determine what needs to be done to make these futures happen. The environmental agenda encompasses much more than staving off ecological disaster; it involves trying to create a society that is sustainable, in all manifold

dimensions.

26 York Centre for Applied Sustainability, York University David Bell, Director

The York Centre for Applied Sustainability was established by the York Senate in June of 1996 as an Organized Research Unit. The mission of YCAS is to promote the application of sustainability principles and practices throughout society, including the public sector, the private sector, the civil sector, and in education. Accordingly, the Centre is an outward-looking organization whose work requires collaboration and partnerships with groups and organizations at the local, national, and international level. Though based in the Faculty of Environmental Studies, the York Centre for Applied Sustainability is University-wide in its orientation, focus and structure. It seeks to facilitate opportunities for involvement in applied research and action concerning sustainability on the part of the faculty members and graduate students from across the University. The challenge which YCAS has taken as its central goal is towards making the concept of sustainability a reality -- in the

University, in government, in business and in people's everyday lives.

The Centre operates under the direction of an Academic Advisory Board comprised of

representatives from the Faculties of Arts, Education, Environmental Studies, Graduate Studies, Pure and Applied Science and the Schulich School of Business as well as the Associate Vice-President (Research). Representatives of the Graduate Environmental Studies Students' Association (GESSA) and the Bachelor in Environmental Studies Together (BESST) are invited to represent the Faculty of Environmental Studies student body. In 1989, the province of Ontario established the Ontario Round Table on Environment and Economy to foster sustainable development within the province. When that body was disbanded in 1995, the government of Ontario provided York University with its resources in order for York to continue aspects of its work through the York Centre for Applied Sustainability.
