Climate change impacts many aspects of our lives, from the environment to jobs and the economy. To take meaningful action, we must be well-informed. The constant stream of information about climate change can be overwhelming, but this is your chance for a deep dive. Becoming sustainability-savvy is not only essential for driving change but also a crucial skill in today's workplace.
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 next generation of climate leaders are studying at UCL today and the Sustainability Leadership Conference will empower students to find sustainable solutions to global issues.
The three-day 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.

Sustainability sounds great but I am nervous about attending a conference.
Conferences can be a bit overwhelming, can't they? It's totally normal to feel a bit nervous about diving in. Just remember, this event is all about students like you. You'll get to meet other students who are just as eager to learn and share their experiences. You're definitely not alone, and your enthusiasm to learn is already a huge step forward. Embrace this chance to grow and connect with others on the same journey. You've got this!
