W25 Climate Conference
Our team attended an interactive event featuring a dynamic keynote, workshop sessions, a student poster showcase, and panel discussions—all focused on transforming worries about climate change into opportunities for hope and career development. We learned from experts, connected with climate researchers, explored climate anxiety, and discovered active ways to collaborate for a better future. Thank you for inspiring a sense of climate hope in the attendees. We will carry this message out into the world and into our communities!

I come every year. I actually think it's super important to study the climate based on how the world is now. I wish my research was in this area and I think it's important to hear the work of others. I'm walking away feeling inspired to make a change and uplifted hearing what everyone is doing especially with what we hear and see on the news. Plus to come and learn.
