Climate change affects us all. Our planet faces unsustainable rising temperatures and the destruction of natural habitats. But there is hope.
The next generation of leaders who will go on to make a global impact on environmental sustainability and climate change are studying at UCL today. We want to make sure UCL student voices are heard on this critical issue and give students the opportunity to develop skills, meet inspiring people, and build networks.
In term one Mary, Students' Union President, went to COP28 to represent students and to show that student voices are crucial to the way we tackle the biggest issue affecting the world today. Watch Mary's post-COP28 video reflections and see there is hope in addressing climate change if we look in the right places.
We're committed to creating ways for students to develop skills in sustainability and climate leadership and in partnership with Sustainable UCL, we've created a new development programme and conference for students.
The Sustainability Leadership Conference, co-delivered by Sustainable UCL and Students' Union UCL, will bring together students, experts, and organisations to discuss the biggest issue facing the world today, and how to tackle it.
The conference aims to inspire, upskill, and empower students to become climate leaders and is themed around three key strands:
🌎 Understanding climate change and environmental sustainability.
🌍 Sustainability leadership.
🌏 Skills development including communication skills.
2024 will be the inaugural year of the Sustainability Leadership Conference, and something we hope to continue far into the future, empowering cohorts of students to go out and change the world.
