Young Sustainability Professionals Career Development Event: Co-hosted by U.S.-Japan Council and JCLP Youth Task Force
The goal of this event is to accelerate climate action by stimulating interest in sustainability careers among young professionals and providing concrete actions/tips on how to contribute to climate action.
