Overview
To commemorate the anniversary of the Sustainability & Conservation Hub, this year's celebration brings together keynote speeches and engaging panel discussions from leading voices in sustainability, health, education, and urbanism.
This event is organized in collaboration with the Global Health Hub and the Interdisciplinary Design for the Built Environment (IDBE) program, with two discussions under the following themes:
- Healthy Cities: The Intersection of Built Environment, Sustainability, and Public Health
- Education and Capacity Building for Sustainable Development
The keynote speech will be delivered by Jason Pomeroy, Singapore-based Wolfson alumnus and Fellow at Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). Jason is the Founder of the interdisciplinary sustainable design and research firm Pomeroy Studio, and a sustainable educator and researcher, at Pomeroy Academy.
The event will also feature the unveiling of the Wolfson Sustainability Ambassador Program and the presentation of the inaugural awards, recognising individuals who have made significant contributions to sustainability within our community.
The evening will conclude with a formal dinner, offering a wonderful opportunity for networking and celebrating our collective achievements in sustainability.
We look forward to your participation in this significant event that brings together leading voices in sustainability, health, education, and urbanism.
