CONVERSATION WITH BEN JEALOUS, CEO of the Sierra Club 

3pm, 10th of April | Theatre Q043 UCD Quinn Business School

Ben Jealous is CEO of the US Sierra Club, one of the oldest environmental conservation movements in the world, Professor of Practice at the University of Pennsylvania and former head of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (The NAACP).

As a thought leader who has demonstrated a commitment to addressing societal issues through evidence and advocacy, Prof Jealous will explore the intersection between trust, social justice and socio-scientific issues, such as climate change. His work in advancing sustainability and equity in communities most affected by climate change will provide invaluable context to UCD discussions on how science can build trust and foster positive social change. 
ESRI CUSTOMER SUCCESS AWARD

University College Dublin has been nominated in the Cartographic Design Award category of the Esri Ireland Customer Success Awards for the UCD SDGs Dashboard, an interactive and user-friendly online mapping tool developed by a multidisciplinary team of students and academics. 

The Cartographic Design category “recognises exceptional map design that effectively communicates spatial information through innovative and aesthetically pleasing cartography”. 

Since its launch last September, UCD staff, faculty and students have been using the SDGs Dashboard to learn about sustainability infrastructure, activities and initiatives on campus. It is also being used as a classroom tool to support teaching, raise awareness about sustainability at UCD and stimulate action.

The project, led by Assoc Professor Ainhoa Gonzalez Del Campo, was chosen as one of the finalists.
