Recap
For opening and closing remarks from this event, please go to our MSU Mediaspace Convening on Climate playlist.
Overview
The MSU community is invited to participate in a campus convening on the impacts of climate change on our world, our food, and our people. Michigan State is uniquely positioned to approach this topic from several disciplinary angles, and all faculty, staff and students are welcome to attend and provide input.
The MSU Strategic Plan 2030 outlines several research thrusts. This is the first meeting in a series around climate change and more series will be scheduled on additional research priorities. The full-day event will be highly interactive as attendees will participate in facilitated break out sessions with a goal of identifying short- and long-term projects and developing a robust plan for moving forward.
Why Attend?

- Be a catalyst for programs in climate change and its application to adaptation and mitigation, and meet others who are interested and engaged in research, education, and outreach in climate change.
- Participate in breakout sessions that will inform MSU’s strategic plan for climate change research, education, and outreach
- Nurture an understanding of scientific, social, and political challenges created by our changing climate and advance new cross-disciplinary collaborations that bring together science, humanities, technology, and society to develop relevant and actionable systems to address it.
- Identify the unique strengths and values that will help position MSU as a world leader in this critical area.
