1. Debate on Population Growth
Last Thursday, we had our first debate event outside on our beautiful KAUST campus, which was on population growth. The debate provoked great thoughts and insights after Liubova and Eshan attempted to convince us to hold a certain side with their well-developed arguments. I have to say that if felts so great to see you in person (of course with the social distance precautions). If you would like to participate in future debates, please email liubov.gapa@kaust.edu.sa.

4. Sustainability Hub at WEP | Institutional Collaboration
Join us in establishing the Sustainability Hub at WEP 2021 with Ana Margarida.

If you have ideas to share, please include them in the proposal's link here.
5. A New Meeting Time for our General Body Meetings
We come together once a month to discuss, ideate, and energize initiatives around sustainability. We reflect on our past events and we brainstorm how we can do better in the future. I would love to see as many of you as possible because Together Everyone Achieves More.
According to the when2meet result, the new meeting time will be the third Saturday of each month from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. See you on October 17th.
