[HOST INSTITUTION NAME] SUPPORTS GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON SUSTAINABILITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION
[Location] [Date] – [HOST INSTITUTION NAME] is proud to announce its involvement as a Host Institution Sponsor for AASHE’s Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education (GCSHE). This virtual event, streaming live across three days (October 18, October 26, and November 3), will deliver live interactive sessions, inspiring keynote presenters, and engaging networking opportunities for innovative professionals and campus change agents. Now in its third year, GCSHE reaches a global audience of sustainability practitioners, faculty, students, and administrative personnel in higher education.
As more reports highlight the catastrophic effects of climate change, we have reached a point where the results are irreversible—unless immediate, rapid, large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are met. With a theme of “The Urgency of Now,” this year’s conference is a clarion call for transformative sustainability solutions that match the speed and scale of our challenges.
“Our host institutions truly champion sustainability advancements in higher education. We are grateful to work with these member colleges and universities that directly contribute to the success of the conference and the sustainability movement as a whole,” said AASHE Executive Director Meghan Fay Zahniser.
