Sustainability Solutions Summit, Spring 2024

Five interdisciplinary student teams who had been working together all year presented their final sustainability initiatives on topics ranging from transportation, access to high-quality food and water, public green spaces, and urban greening, and public support for sustainability. Each group identified and invited stakeholders with specific “asks” to advance their sustainability goals. All presentations were provided in a multimedia format using the Adobe Creative Suite.

In the spirit of building a strong, interdisciplinary community of practice, we were joined by middle and high school students from East Side Union High School District as they shared the results of community action research to promote climate hope via social media.
