This program is a TED Talk-style conference specifically geared towards environmental awareness. This event aims to engage the UC San Diego student body and community about the community’s current efforts in sustainability and spark discussions about a greener future.

It all began with an idea to host an event featuring a variety of speakers presenting on their work, experiences, and vision for a more sustainable future. The Inter-Sustainability Council and the Student Sustainability Collective organized the first Green Talks, a TED-talk style event in 2016 during UC San Diego's Celebration of Earth Month aimed to engage and promote the importance of being environmentally conscious through one’s actions.
