Alumni Relations in a Warming World
Session Description: Globally, our universities are rising to the challenge of the climate crisis. At the THE Climate Impact Forum in 2021, 1,050 universities from 68 countries committed to reach net-zero emissions and “transform their impact on nature”.
But how can the relational and very global nature of alumni relations play its part? How can we continue to support thriving alumni communities in a climate-conscious world? How can we catalyse a broader movement of activists to tackle climate change?
We will share best practices in climate impact minimisation efforts and discuss how we can unleash the power of our alumni and institutional leadership -- to drive awareness and rapid action on climate change and sustainable growth at large.
From practical tools on events, mitigation, non-profit partnerships and green merchandise to strategic initiatives including co-creation of solutions and sustainability awards - be ready for a myriad of ideas.
