Sustainable Solutions Lectures

 

The Sustainable Solutions Lectures series is a UMass system collaboration. It has received the support of the School of Earth and Sustainability (UMass Amherst), the School of Public Policy (UMass Amherst), the School for the Environment (UMass Boston), UMass Lowell, and UMass Dartmouth.

Students present their 3D model project to an audience in a classroom setting. The presenters stand at the front of the room, explaining their project using a projector screen displaying architectural views and site plans. The audience, seated on yellow chairs, listens attentively. The walls are adorned with various architectural drawings and plans.

GOALS:

  • Fostering dialogue on sustainable actions to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. -- Our lectures will explore themes connected with the United Nations SDGs including goals to end poverty, reduce inequality, improve health and education, promote a transition toward renewable energy and tackle climate change

  • Strengthening or sparking new research collaborations in the field of sustainability between faculty members, scholars and students from the UMass system

  • Creating a forum where academia, the public sector and the private sector can meet and accelerate the design of sustainable solutions. We hope that this lecture series will help develop an wide network of scholars and experts from universities, think tanks, national laboratories, government agencies, and international organizations that work to identify and develop solutions to sustainable development challenges
