Geography Speaker Series – What does sustainability mean to you?

What does sustainability mean to you?

Depending on who you ask, you’ll get some remarkably different answers. But what does it actually mean to be “sustainable?” Are the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) a useful framework? How can we ensure our sustainability efforts will not just be “greenwashed” at the end of the day? Join a panel of Langara’s brightest to unpack the idea of "sustainability" and what it means to them, the college, and the world in which we currently live.
