Learn about the “Importance of Green Job Creation for Women and Youth” from Shams Banihani ’03 of the United Nations Development Programme. Paul Robbins ’89 addressed the topic “What Keeps You up at Night? Daunting Environmental Challenges and Surprising Opportunities.” You can access both at uwalumni.com/learning.
