Mental Health in the Face of Overlapping Crises | 12:00 - 1:00 PM PT ▾
The emotional weight of the pandemic and an intensified reckoning with the structural injustices of our society have only intensified stress and anxiety, particularly in those already experiencing them. This session brings together people who have been actively working to bring attention to, and help support people through, climate anxiety and positive mental health as it relates to the existential stressors of our times. Listen, learn and engage as our experts describe the positive actions and strategies we can take, and the importance of giving space to these often overlooked aspects of tackling the climate crisis and social injustice. |

Stanford Class Case Study: Sustainability in Athletics | 12:00 - 12:30 PM PT ▾
Join us and learn how Stanford created a new course on the intersection of environmental sustainability and athletics. Athletic teams and organizations provide a unique lens to analyze environmental sustainability due to their global reach, enormous fan bases and widely recognized sport icons. The athletics industry produces an enormous environmental footprint with its travel, gear, competitive fueling, events, venue construction and maintenance. Because of this position, the sports industry has the opportunity and responsibility to create meaningful change in support of a sustainable future. Stanford student athletes will share their expertise, vision and advice on how they helped students develop an understanding for the current state of athletic sustainability as well as future directions for the industry in this space. |
