MethodSpace is following and sharing news from the UN Bonn Climate Conference, now underway. We are particularly focused on the opportunities and implications for researchers and educators– and our students. To that end, we are interested in the upcoming launch of the Universities Network for Climate Capacity (UNCC). This series of posts includes background information as well as live feeds from the conference.
Dr. Lynn Wilson is a member of the UNCC launch and steering committees. She is the founder and CEO of SeaTrust Institute, and on the Walden University faculty.
Lynn recorded a video for SAGE, “Transformational Leadership in Sustainability: Challenges and Opportunities with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”
I interviewed Lynn for MethodSpace, to learn more about UNCC and her experiences.

JS: You founded the non-profit SeaTrust Institute 15 years ago. How did you become a recognized part of the UN– along side large NGOs and research institutions?
