Climate change, sustainability and decarbonisation will be key factors in every business decision a student will make during their careers, so Aston University is taking steps to ensure its students are ahead of the game.

The Problem: How to help embed sustainability into all courses and give students the necessary climate change thinking and problem-solving skills for whatever programme they're studying, and to be an investment in students that will prepare them for the brave new career opportunities that will come in a low-carbon world.

This session highlighted how this event was created, organised and implemented and also the lessons learnt after the last two events.
