Why Join the WCS Book Club?

The Cleantech and Sustainability Industries are dynamic and fast moving. To stay on top of the latest research and news it’s important to read. Unfortunately, as women, we are often pressed for time and may lack a community of like-minded individuals to engage with.

The goal of the WCS Book Club is to motivate women to come together to read the year’s most important sustainability books, while getting the chance to meet and befriend other women in the Cleantech and Sustainability Industries. What’s more intellectually stimulating than discussing transformative ideas with other passionate women?

Each year we will aim to read 3 books, and will have virtual events discussing each book. In addition we also have a WCS Connect Slack Channel, where the group can share related articles and thoughts pertaining to topics relevant to the book.
