Protection and Prosperity: A New Environmental Research Agenda for a Changing World
Please join us for a briefing on the report and for a dialogue on the connections between the environment, education and America’s future.
Overview
“The nation is at an environmental crossroads where the confluence of unprecedented global environmental change and transformative new capabilities create both an imperative and a responsibility,” according to a report by the National Science Foundation’s Advisory Committee for Environmental Research and Education. America's Future: Environmental Research and Education for a Thriving Century: A 10-Year Outlook calls for a new interdisciplinary environmental and engineering research and education agenda, supported by NSF and other funders, that seeks to change the trajectory of current socio-environmental trends. Recognizing the value of environmental science is key to moving past the outdated idea that economic prosperity and environmental protection are incompatible, according to the authors. Please join us for a briefing on the report and for a dialogue on the connections between the environment, education and America’s future.

Global Risk and Resilience Program
The Global Risk and Resilience Program (GRRP) seeks to support the development of inclusive, resilient networks in local communities facing global change. By providing a platform for sharing lessons, mapping knowledge, and linking people and ideas, GRRP and its affiliated programs empower policymakers, practitioners, and community members to participate in the global dialogue on sustainability and resilience. Empowered communities are better able to develop flexible, diverse, and equitable networks of resilience that can improve their health, preserve their natural resources, and build peace between people in a changing world.
