The University of Minnesota–Twin Cities is proud to be a host institution of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) 2020 virtual Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education (GCSHE), October 20-22, 2020, and invite all students, faculty, and staff on the Twin Cities campus to participate. The University's participation as a host institution is made possible through support from It All Adds Up and Sustainability Education at the Institute on the Environment.
The GCSHE is the largest stage to exchange effective models, policies, research, collaborations, and transformative actions that advance sustainability in higher education and surrounding communities. Humanity faces a series of intensifying and interrelated social and ecological crises. Solving these crises requires a holistic transformation: a shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy. With a theme of “Mobilizing for a Just Transition,” this year’s conference will focus on centering justice within this transformation and ensuring that it leaves no one behind.
Several University of Minnesota staff, faculty, and students will present at this year's conference.
