Tackling the policy and social challenges of climate change
The changing climate, natural resource depletion, and increased demands on our food, water, and energy resources are defining challenges of the 21st century. Confronting these issues will require informed policy, international cooperation, and inspired leadership if we are to put the planet on a more sustainable path and deliver on our obligations to future generations.
Our location in Colorado's Front Range will put you at the center of practical discussions about the role of government, private sector and civil society to understand the consequences of climate change and well-being.
