Sustainable Development and Renewable Energy
This year’s head summit takes place in Boston at one of the United States’ most revered academic institutions in Cambridge, MA. Focused on sustainable development and renewable energy, the Summit will dive deep into every impact of global climate change, including crop viability and biodiversity, trade, and labor supply. How can countries address competing priorities in a global economy? How can nations balance short- and long-term goals? Participants will explore these questions and more as they tackle one of today’s most pressing issues.
