To help students prepare for the Sustainability Summit, we've curated a collection of resources for each breakout session, including articles, videos, podcasts, reports, and websites. These materials will provide students with valuable background information and context on the topics to be discussed, allowing them to engage more deeply with the content during the Breakout sessions. We encourage students to explore these resources before the summit to enhance their understanding and spark ideas for meaningful participation in the Breakout sessions.
