Delivered by Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) and funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada, ImpAct-Climate is fostering a sustainable future within Canada’s college and institute sector. Our program is dedicated to raising awareness about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and equipping our members with the tools, resources, and professional connections needed to drive meaningful, lasting change.

ImpAct-Climate supports colleges and institutes by highlighting innovative sustainability initiatives, fostering collaboration, and facilitating the exchange of knowledge and experiences. We provide insights, real-world examples, collaborative opportunities, and funding for living lab projects, empowering institutions to innovate in campus infrastructure and integrate sustainability into educational programs and applied research, thereby enhancing their impact on climate action and advancing towards net-zero emissions.
