About Nidhu
Nidhu is a recent BSc Hons graduate from the University of Waterloo with a strong technical background in the environmental sciences. She is currently pursuing a Master’s of Climate Change degree at the University of Waterloo. Her research interests lie in climate change emerging technologies and innovations, science literacy, sustainable development policy framework, and climate change diplomacy and partnership development (amongst others). She has had professional experiences in a variety of facets of the environmental field, including consulting, research work, and innovation outreach.
About Allen
Allen is a first-year student in the Knowledge Integration program at the University of Waterloo. Drawing on his social media and communications experience through organizations such as 1UP Toronto, he hopes that he can make his contribution towards advancing the SDGs. Allen is particularly inspired in how industries not typically known for environmentally degrading practices can become more sustainable. For example: did you know that music streaming in some ways is more carbon-intensive than CDs and records?
