Shula Speaks on Polytechnic School Institute for Global Learning Climate Summit
Verdical Group’s Founder & CEO Drew Shula was featured on a panel at the Polytechnic School’s Institute for Global Learning (IGL) Climate Summit on February 21, 2026.
The summit’s theme was “What If We Get It Right?”, inspired by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson’s book What If We Get It Right? Visions of Climate Futures. The goal was to encourage students to take action and for the panelists to share ways that you think students can take meaningful action in the climate field.
Shula shared the following about his experience:
“It was wonderful to speak on a panel at Poly’s first Climate Summit. It was super inspiring to feel the student’s joy in tackling climate issues, and after my company, Verdical Group, completed a Carbon Reduction Plan for Poly’s entire campus a few years ago in 2022, it’s been incredible to see the work that the school and students have done to further these goals.
