2. AUTHOR CONTENT FOR STUDENTENERGY.ORG 2.0

Student Energy is updating its Energy Systems Map for 2020, to add a new category of ‘Influences’ - these are the important social, ecological, and policy factors that intersect with the energy system. We are also updating several of the existing topics on the map to reflect changes that have taken place in that field since 2015. The Energy Systems Map has reached over 3 million annual users since it was first launched in 2015. The map is co-created by young people, so we are seeking young leaders from a variety of backgrounds who are keen to share their expertise by acting as a Content Author.
