    • Sustainability efforts are a long game. As we teach students about the many environmental challenges we face, we must pair this with capacity-building that will allow sustained action over the long term. Utilizing sensory cues, story-telling, and shared experience, we can support students to develop not only environmental health knowledge, but also community, resilience, and even joy. Megan Czerwinski will present findings from her research on sustainability competence in nursing education, along with insights from work developing an open-access learning platform for sustainability (learngala.com) and the campus culture recommendations for the University of Michigan Commission for Carbon Neutrality.

      Learning Objectives:

      1. Describe the key components of sustainability competence and explain their relevance to nursing practice & education.
      2. Examine common challenges faced in the development of sustainability competence.
      3. Explore strategies and tools for engaging students holistically in sustained climate action and environmental health promotion.
