We successfully concluded the second Net0MM-CREATE technical workshop on the topic of climate justice in STEM. The workshop was organized in a roundtable panel format. Dr. Amanda Giang moderated the session and was joined by UBC faculty researchers – Dr. Alex Tavasoli, Dr. Milind Kandlikar, our Net0MM collaborator – Linda Nowlan (UBC Sustainability Hub), and a student climate expert – Manvi Bhalla. We had the privilege of hosting Manvi through the Climate Teaching Connector Program, where she shared her insights and experiences related to climate justice in STEM.
Throughout the session, questions and topics were raised – the definition of climate justice and its importance of implementation within the scientists and engineers community. We believe and hope that the discussion and exchange of ideas during this workshop will benefit our cohort in their research journey.
