Climate change is no longer a distant threat. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2025 reveals environmental disasters, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem collapse represent five of the top 10 global risks over the next decade.
The clock is ticking, but change is still possible with York University’s Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change (EUC). It is a research-driven, student-first community that is all about building a greener, fairer world — and you can be part of it.
“As awareness of environmental challenges continues to grow, careers in renewable energy, waste management, geomatics, sustainable planning, and biodiversity are becoming increasingly vital. At EUC, we are committed to preparing students for impactful careers that drive sustainability and positive change.”
Alice J. Hovorka, Dean & Professor of the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change
IBM and Columbia University are partnering to make data centres more energy-efficient, as these facilities consume around 2% of U.S. energy supplies according to the Department of Energy. They are modelling AI's energy use, designing low-power chips, reducing software inefficiencies, and optimising system operations to address this issue.
V. Faye McNeill, professor of chemical engineering, is working with partners across the Global South to expand air quality monitoring in India, generate new air pollution data in Africa, and build local capacity in air quality science. The team’s success has led to informed policy decisions and improved air management across various regions.

Your journey to impact starts here
A campus designed for impact
My long-term goal is to become a subject matter expert in supply chain, which is the backbone of the industry. I found BGSU's Logistics Systems Engineering program is a combination of engineering and management, which helps me to enhance my knowledge and skills. I joined BGSU in January 2022 and got the opportunity to work as a Graduate Assistant on an industrial project under the guidance of Dr. Sarder.
