The University of Michigan community understands climate change is an existential threat that will exacerbate inequality and make our planet unliveable. In this community conversation on climate action, we bring Michigan and community voices together to amplify our shared commitment to tackle the climate crisis, create sustainable and just systems and center environmental justice. How can we come together in this critical moment, and what is our roadmap for the path ahead? Join us in this unique conversation structured as a town hall and information session to learn what is happening at the university, local, state and federal levels and how you can get involved.

Help us plan for a sustainable event. RSVP today to ensure we have an accurate food count, minimizing waste and maximizing the impact of our gathering. Together, we can lead by example in sustainable event practices.

This event will also be live-streamed. If you check off the “watch via livestream” option on the registration form, we will email the livestream link before the event. 

The main event will be followed by a networking reception from 6:00-6:30 p.m.
