The UNITE 2030 Summit's goal is to empower young leaders to end poverty, inequality, injustice, and climate change by the year 2030.
The Camp 2030 Summit will focus on the UN's Global Goals Week and around the UN General Assembly. The Summit takes place between September 12 - 18, 2022. It is a 6-day innovation lab to spark entrepreneurial solutions to the SDGs. This is a great opportunity for young people (18-35) who are interested in exploring social entrepreneurship and sustainability. Attendees will get the chance to network with other youth leaders, and also receive mentorship and have their solutions heard at an event in NYC during UN General Assembly.
Applications close May 15 at 11:59 pm ET. The application link is here: www.camp2030.com/apply
]]>The Higher Education Climate Leadership Summit, hosted by Second Nature and the Intentional Endowments Network, is the premier annual gathering of higher education leaders committed to addressing inequality and the climate crisis.
We invite you to virtually join us April 5-8, 2022 as we meet to foster courageous conversations and radical collaborations in our shared pursuit of a just, sustainable, and thriving carbon-free society. We hope to spur conversations and partnerships that are difficult and challenging yet essential and transformative. Come connect with your peers and key champions across sectors to build relationships and find solutions to the most consequential climate issues of our time.
The 2022 Summit will build off of the year-long 2021 Climate Action Pursuit, and include the same intersectional tracks: Racial Justice, Neutrality and Decarbonization, Policy, Community Resilience and Investment, Student Leadership, and New Knowledge.
The overall process of UMBC's Climate Action Plan will be discussed by Ryan Kmetz, Director of Sustainability, and other session panelists.
Process and Progress: Reporting Across the Climate Leadership Network
Session Description: Meeting climate commitments, and reporting on progress, is an ongoing process. While a climate commitment signatory may strive to implement long term operational and technical decarbonization projects with the academic and educational experience for the campus community, for those that have added the resilience commitment, the process extends to developing a formal partnership with the surrounding community to assess vulnerabilities and risks and identify opportunities and strengths in response to a changing climate. All of this, of course, also includes reporting internally to departments and supervisors and externally to municipalities, states, funders, and voluntary programs, like the Climate Leadership Commitments. Second Nature understands that this is a lot of work and we want to leverage and communicate these efforts with an emphasis on the process. This session will feature best practices and lessons learned from the Climate Leadership Network.
