Implementing Sustainable Community Plans
The Municipal Net-Zero Action Research Partnership (N-ZAP) aims to support Canadian municipalities in monitoring, measuring and achieving their GHG mitigation goals. This research project will study and create improved measurement, analysis and monitoring systems for both municipal and community-wide GHG emissions. This will help to advance the quantification of GHG emissions, enable the application of methods to identify mitigation opportunities, and evaluate their effectiveness.

The Waterloo Industrial Ecology Group (WIEG) supports collaborative research and teaching that confronts the challenges of sustainable development in the systems of production and consumption that power the 21st century economy.
Youth and Innovation Project
The Youth and Innovation Project aims to understand and amplify the positive social, environmental and economic impact young people, 15 to 25 years old, have on organizations, communities and systems. Using our evidence-based insights we advise civil society, academia, government and business on the design of policy, funding, programs and practices to ensure that young people can have a positive social, environmental and economic impact as well as encouraging intergenerational collaboration in business, civil society, academia and government.
