The Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy is organizing a student-led conference with the theme, “The Intersection of Crisis and Transition: Sustainability in the Age of the Sustainable Development Goals” on December 16, 2017 from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm, at Nador 15, Room 103.

The aim of the conference is to present a wide range of environmental challenges across the world and from different perspectives. Around 40 Master’s students from the program will lead the conference seminar covering topics related to climate change, resource use, cities and development, policies and treaties, energy, and environmental justice. The presentations intend to identify and demonstrate opportunities to address these crises through innovation, policy, technology, and discourse. A post-session discussion among the participants will follow.
