Join us from April 22 (Earth Day!) to April 24, 2024, at the third annual Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference [[link removed]] (ICR24). Navigating the future of climate change requires connecting innovative climate solutions to policy action now more than ever. Battelle and the Wilson Center are making that connection happen. At the conference, you will not only hear from leading voices in policy, academia, and government, but also from researchers and practitioners who are pioneering innovative climate solutions. See a list of keynote speakers and panelists below!
