Sustain-a-City: An Urban Innovation Challenge
Did you know…
Cities cover only 2 per cent of the world’s surface and are home to slightly over half of the world’s population. Yet they consume a disproportionate 78 per cent of the world’s energy, and produce over 70 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
What would a sustainable, net-zero city look like?
We’re looking for innovative solutions around these themes:

Sustain-a-City: An Urban Innovation Challenge is open to all registered students between 18-25 years old (as of registration date). Grab your friends, form a team of up to 3 and register before 5 April 2023!
