At the Sabin Center, we’re using the power of the University to catalyze a global community of innovators, educators, and advocates to solve the essential environmental challenges of our time. As those problems grow in scope and complexity, the need for effective, collective action – from across campus to around the world – accelerates. What systems and relationships must we prioritize to ensure just and sustainable outcomes for people and place? How can leading-edge technologies address age-old problems? How can we integrate scholarship, enterprise, policy, and community to drive meaningful change? 

This conference brings together practitioners, academics, and community members to explore these questions while highlighting impactful approaches from here on campus to the Peruvian Amazon. Through this convening, we seek to catalyze creative and purposeful conversations, advance our shared knowledge, and strengthen relationships at the campus, community, regional, and global levels. Highlights include:

▸ The Role of Heirs Property in Culture, Climate, Conservation, and Agriculture

▸  Protecting People & Place: Conservation and Human Rights

▸  Advanced Technology for Earth’s Last Best Places
