Summary
As we saw in Chapter 7, educational institutions – the city’s two universities, two colleges, and two school boards – play a large role in generating governance initiatives on climate change in Ottawa. They are central to the cluster of public initiatives focused on building new sorts of infrastructure and managing energy consumption. Of these, the University of Ottawa (I will use either UofO or simply ‘the University’ as shorthand) is significantly the most active. This chapter explores in more detail climate politics within that university.
