In the speaker series Climate Action Clinic: Where Research meets Practice, we spotlight lessons learned from efforts to link knowledge and action in order to develop and advance durable, effective solutions to the climate change and sustainability challenges confronting humanity.

In this discussion, the University of Michigan's Vice Provost for Sustainability and Climate Action Shalanda Baker presents an overview of the Michigan Futures Initiative, a framework designed to accelerate research impacts and respond to urgent climate and sustainability issues focusing on: law and policy for equitable climate and energy policy; education innovation for the next generation of climate leaders; economic impact and workforce development fora sustainable economy; industrial transformation; and systems change tackling the interconnected challenges of water, food, and energy systems.

Lunch will be served from 11:30 - 12:00 pm.
