#NCSE DRAWDOWN CONFERENCE FULL#

It’s not so much that climate change needs to displace current curricula. This means, in real terms, that we have little choice but to shift the pre-K to 16 education system into a very different frame of thinking. Many of us in the sustainability/climate action arena have converged on the realization that, if we are to field this goal of checking climate impacts within the next 9 to 10 years, we have only about four to six years to having society shift its education system fundamentally toward a “proper action” mode of decision making.

#NCSE DRAWDOWN CONFERENCE FULL#

Participants are able to register for the full event or for each day separately. The event will serve as the SCC’s annual faculty conference for 2021 and is intended as a complement to AASHE’s Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education to occur online later this year. All sessions will include interactive components. This event will be structured to facilitate a deeper dive into key issues than the typical conference panel format.

This online event to be held over a 3-day period in June brings together faculty teaching sustainability in higher education and others interested in advancing the field. A joint activity of AASHE and the Sustainability Curriculum Consortium (SCC) June 16-17-18, 2021
