CONNECT WITH PRACTITIONERS, ACADEMICS, POLICY MAKERS, BUSINESSES, AND NON-PROFIT LEADERS FROM TEXAS AND BEYOND TO BE PART OF BUILDING A CLIMATE-RESILIENT LONE STAR STATE!
The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment invites you to challenge your thinking and delve into the less well-known aspects of the complex and multi-faceted, “wicked,” climate problems we face today, problems that have no solution, but may be amenable to management. Themes include how we can stimulate more interdisciplinary perspectives and what further understanding is needed to inform policy for constructive environmental interventions.
REASONS TO ATTEND
- Expand your knowledge beyond your field of focus: Find out what you did not know concerning the multifaceted complexities underpinning the wicked problem of climate change.
- Build relationships, make connections, and meet experts: Engage with others exploring how to leverage interdisciplinary perspectives to address climate change, and meet motivating experts and influencers.
