Canadian wildlife and ecosystems are feeling the impact of our unsustainable lifestyles. WWF’s Living Planet Report Canada found that half of monitored wildlife populations are in decline.
This is your chance to make a change and lead in nature protection and restoration by becoming a leader in sustainability.
Living Planet Leader is a self-guided certification. You can make it your own, finding opportunities on campus and in your community to make a difference. It will enhance your resume and recognize your campus sustainability achievements.
To qualify, you must complete actions in:
As a student, you have from first day of your first post-secondary program until three months after graduating from your final post-secondary program to complete and submit the requirements, earning your WWF Living Planet Leader certificate.
At this time, if you’re interested in engaging in hands-on Living Planet Leader activities, we ask that you practice social distancing, and follow your local government recommendations on gatherings and activities. If you’re feeling cooped up indoors but want to demonstrate your support of nature, consider logging into Living Planet @ Campus, enroll in Living Planet Leader, and start submitting actions you’ve already taken that count towards the certification.Have you participated in a cleanup or been involved in an environmental student club? Submit those hours to the Volunteerism category.
Have you completed a course related to environmental sustainability? That’s a certification requirement you can check off by submitting the course to the Application of Sustainability to Academics category. Or take the time to fill out the day-to-day sustainable actions you already engage in on the certificate’s Personal Application of Sustainability checklist. You may find that you’re already done most of the certification’s requirements! And can start thinking ahead to what’s left and how you can accomplish those actions before graduation.
As a student, you can count environmental activities that have been completed starting from first day of your first post-secondary program up until three months following your final post-secondary. This means that relevant activities completed during post-secondary before you registered for Living Planet Leader can be submitted.
