Thank you for making this year's conference a success!

The George Washington University’s Department of Strategic Management and Public Policy and the Institute for Corporate Responsibility’s Environmental Sustainability Program co-hosted GW’s Third Annual Climate Action Conference during Earth Week 2009. The Climate Action Conference featured an impressive array of dynamic speakers from business, education, energy, health, economics, and other fields.  The conference aimed to encourage climate-related action in addition to providing interested students and the public with a unique opportunity to learn first-hand about climate change-related opportunities, policies, and the local and international effects of an ever-warming world.

Theme: Cross-Sectoral, Multi-Scale
Building on the success of our past two conferences, this year’s theme is “Managing for Climate Change: Global to Local Solutions.” Finding solutions to anthropogenic climate change will require us to manage human activities across diverse sectors and on multiple spatial and temporal scales. This conference will focus on identifying actions that we can take individually and collectively to mitigate our negative impacts on Earth's climate.
