Description:
Complex environmental problems have taken center stage in the early 21st century -- and they can’t be solved with business-as-usual thinking. It’s time for something different. The Institute on the Environment and the greater University of Minnesota community are taking a new approach to addressing these urgent issues: a combination of solution-driven research with innovative partnerships and leadership. Join Jonathan Foley, director of the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota, as he leads a panel of notables in a discussion of the world’s most pressing environmental issues and how this new approach will affect those problems.
