Mobilizing for a Just Transition
Humanity faces a series of intensifying and interrelated social and ecological crises. Solving these crises requires a holistic transformation, a shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy. With a theme of “Mobilizing for a Just Transition,” this year’s Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education will focus on centering justice within this transformation and ensuring that it leaves no one behind. We seek to encourage higher education sustainability leaders to reflect and act on the Just Transition Principles articulated by the Climate Justice Alliance and to spotlight inspirational examples of institutions championing this work.
Participation is flexible
The complete live and on-demand schedules for the Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education are also now available. Explore these schedules by track, topic or intended audience, and remember that attendees can view sessions through Nov. 22.
