I'm designing an online clase about sustainability, just transition and development based on short 15 minutes videos by different professors on specific topics. The videos will follow an interview format. The idea is that each professor respond to relevant questions to help students understand why this topic is important and some key issues about them. I will copy the list of classes and videos below. Please develop an interview guide for each video. 

Session 1.
