AUGUST 2017
Second Annual Climate Leadership Summit
On September 13, 2017, community members and representatives from cities across Indiana will join together for a day-long summit to discuss climate change impacts and solutions.
Last year's inaugural Climate Leadership Summit included participation from 13 cities, including attendance from 7 mayors (see 2016 highlights). The goal was to inspire action to create climate resilient communities across Indiana. This second summit is expected to have an even greater turn out, and it will include plenary remarks and panel discussions on topics such as green jobs, public health and youth engagement.

The Purdue Climate Change Research Center is a proud supporter of this event, and staff will be in attendance to share information about the Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment with community members.

View the letter to Mayors and urge your city to get involved. A list of cities confirmed for the 2017 event is available online.

Climate Facts


Did you know?
Only 29% of Indiana adults say they discuss global warming at least occasionally. However, the majority of Hoosiers (64%) think climate change will be harmful to future generations. One of the primary goals of the Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment is to increase the dialogue about climate change across the state so we can reduce impacts and plan for a better future.

You can find additional information on national and local climate opinions at http://climatecommunication.yale.edu/visualizations-data/ycom-us-2016/.

About Us:
 
Led by the Purdue Climate Change Research Center, the Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment (IN CCIA) is a statewide effort that will bring together the best available climate change research into a series of reports that will help Hoosiers better understand climate change-related risks so they can prepare for challenges and capitalize on opportunities.
