William Rees, FRSC (born December 18, 1943), is a professor at the University of British Columbia and former director of the School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP) at UBC.
Rees has taught at the University of British Columbia since 1969-70.

He is the originator of the "ecological footprint" concept and co-developer of the method.
==Biographical information==
William Rees received his PhD degree in population ecology from the University of Toronto. He founded SCARP’s ‘"Environment and Resource Planning" concentration and from 1994 to 1999 served as director of the School. Rees’ book on ecological footprint analysis, ''Our Ecological Footprint'' (co-authored with then PhD student Dr Mathis Wackernagel), was published in 1996 and is now available in English, Chinese, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, and Spanish.
Much of Rees' work is in the realm of ecological economics and human ecology. He is best known in these fields for the co-development of ecological footprint analysis with his then PhD student Mathis Wackernagel.〔Wackernagel, M. (1994), ''Ecological Footprint and Appropriated Carrying Capacity: A Tool for Planning Toward Sustainability.'' Ph.D. Thesis, School of Community and Regional Planning. The University of British Columbia. Vancouver, Canada.〕 The ecological footprint is a quantitative tool that estimates humanity's ecological impact on the ecosphere in terms of appropriated ecosystem (land and water) area. This research reveals the fundamental incompatibility between continued material economic growth and ecological security, and has helped to reopen debate on human carrying capacity as a consideration in sustainable development.
