One of the key skillsets for a professional in any sustainability field is the ability to design and fund a cutting-edge project.

In this workshop, student teams will work to a client, the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy, to develop projects aimed at

increasing carbon removal in California agriculture. Over two weekends, students will gain five key skills:

1) articulating a compelling vision of the overarching aim of the project

2) mapping the field for existing work to identify gaps

3) identifying potential partners and donors

4) designing a project, including outputs and outcomes

5) writing a persuasive funding proposal, including a credible and thorough budget.
