💡 An update from Christopher Wright, coordinator of the University of Sydney's Sustainability: Business and Leadership unit of study:

🗣️ "A great showing of creativity and critical thinking in the final class of our unit SUST5006: Sustainability: Business and Leadership. Ten amazing group poster presentations exploring sustainability disputes as varied as offshore wind, salmon farming, AI data centres in India, deep-sea mining, and the battle over krill fisheries in Antarctica. Great to be a part of the University of Sydney’s excellent Master of Sustainability program and educating tomorrow’s sustainability leaders!"

🍃 To celebrate finishing last semester, students from PHYS5031 Ecological Economics and Sustainability Analysis, PHYS5803 Sustainability in a Post-Growth World, and PHYS4801 Industrial Ecology went on a field trip to Narara Eco Village.

🗣️ From unit coordinator Vivienne Reiner: “Talks included residents: retired Snowy-Hydro energy expert, chief sustainability officer, and biodiversity consultant. This is a truly sustainable village, with sustainable homes, food co-op, community garden, community hall, and dedicated people practising sociocracy!”
