Announcing the 2025 Wall Legacy Award recipients

August 26, 2025

UBC has announced the recipients of the 2025 Wall Fellowships and Wall Research Awards.

Each year, these prestigious UBC awards provide approximately $4-million to push forward innovative faculty and student research tackling major sustainability challenges in British Columbia and around the world. The Wall Legacy Awards are made possible by an extraordinary gift from Dr. Peter Wall, now exceeding $100 million.

All projects align with three key areas of focus: urban sustainability, environmental protection of coastal areas, and sustainable approaches to resource-intensive industries, with a particular emphasis on the province of B.C. Research ranges from climate change to biodiversity loss, sustainable transportation, energy storage, urban water systems, biodiversity conservation, and more.
