The Environmental Collaboratory at COP28
At COP28, the United Nations' 28th annual global climate meeting, The Environmental Collaboratory co-established a first-of-its-kind higher education pavilion that allowed educational leaders from 13 universities to connect and share knowledge. Together with Drexel Global and the Pennoni Honors College, it also provided funds for several students and faculty to lead sessions and attend the conference in Dubai.
Executive Director Mathy Stanislaus led sessions with the University of Botswana regarding universities authenticating natural carbon sequestration, and a separate session titled "University Assisted Community-Driven Climate Implementation Solutions."
