Creative, ambitious and innovative solutions are being sought for the upcoming sustainability climate justice charrette.

Beginning on February 15 and over the course of two weeks, students on their own or as part of a team are invited to participate in a structured process to develop, plan and contextualize a proposal for transformations that takes us “beyond sustainability” by mapping out ambitious ideas that address the systemic roots of our unsustainability problems, on campus and in our world more broadly. The goals is to move VCU towards a regenerative community, through:

• Product, Technology and Materials innovation
• Policy and Planning Transformation
• Businesses, Cooperatives and Mutual Aid
• Organizing and Movement Building
• Storytelling, Art Activations and Design Futuring
