With the support of faculty mentors, students develop research posters based on work related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It's an opportunity to share research with a broader audience, receive feedback from the judges, and network with colleagues.
This framework provides an essential perspective for inherently global issues and is part of a broader, international approach to learning that challenges and empowers students, and creates new skills, values, and attitudes.
This competition focused on SDG 13: Climate Action, which continues to be one of the most critical issues of our time. The climate crisis continues, largely unabated and worldwide efforts are needed to keep the global average temperatures from increasing. Rising greenhouse emissions require shifting economies towards carbon neutrality and 125 of the 154 developing countries are formulating and implementing national climate adaption plans. Efforts to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts are central to many efforts across disciplines.
