Net Zero on Campus Webinar and Community of Practice Launch - Western Hemisphere
Channel: SDSN
Date: 2023-04-21

The UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) recognizes that as colleges and universities across the world continue to commit to reach net-zero emissions, it is crucial that lessons and resources are shared to accelerate campus decarbonization efforts worldwide. That’s why SDSN, Monash University’s Energy Institute and Climateworks Centre, in collaboration with an advisory panel composed of experts from various universities worldwide, developed the Net Zero on Campus Initiative. It consists of a "how-to" guide and an accompanying online toolkit of resources for colleges and universities to advance campus climate action around the world. We invite you to join our Net Zero on Campus virtual launch event to learn about the initiative, to share your experiences with campus decarbonization, and to join our community of practice. 

Speakers include SDSN President Prof. Jeffrey Sachs and SDSN Vice President of Networks Maria Cortes-Puch. Examples of campus decarbonization are presented by Dr. Devon Smith of the University of the West Indies, Dr. Estibaliz Saez de Camara Oleaga of the University of the Basque Country, and Dr. Lykke E. Andersen of the Universidad Privada Boliviana.
