About this event

Together | Ensemble is a chance for sustainability-minded citizens to connect with experts in academia, industry, civil society and government. Started in 2016, the conference aims to address Canada’s toughest sustainable development challenges and is devoted to tracking the country’s progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This year the University of Alberta’s version of the conference will cover many topic areas, but its central focus will be transit sustainability and equity. Expect speakers to answer questions about how to improve equity in transit access, how to build efficient transit systems, how to fund sustainability initiatives and how to craft good transit policy.
The event will address SDGs 13 (Climate Action), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). It will include roundtable discussions in which participants meet in small groups to uncover SDG-connected priorities and challenges of the next two years.
Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are included in the cost of this ticket.
**If you are facing financial barriers and need a bursary to cover the costs of the event, please contact jasmine.farahbakhsh@ualberta.ca
