UChicago Student Delegation
Career Advancement is excited to partner with the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago to sponsor a delegation of UChicago students to attend the international climate conference, COP28. Career Advancement and EPIC strive to build future leaders in energy and climate change. We believe real world experiences are invaluable to students beginning their career in climate and energy. Students will get the opportunity to meet professionals, researchers, and other students involved in interesting work concerning climate change. At COP27 students had the opportunity to speak with:
- Founder and CEO of Insect Feed Technologies
- Chief Executive of Sustainable Food Trust
- Director for Private Sector Engagement from the White House Council on Environmental Quality
Students also had the opportunity to attend panels on green finance, transit decarbonization, sustainable agriculture, water reclamation and infrastructure, upcoming climate tech, energy transitions, and more.
