Partnerships and Cross-Sector Collaboration to Support Climate Science and Policy: Workshop Series

Completed

Topics

The climate challenge is all-encompassing and requires research and policy responses to match, and new momentum around holistic solutions is mounting across sectors. The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable will convene five short virtual workshops for its membership and invited guests to discuss opportunities for enhancing U.S. approaches to climate science and policy through cross-sector collaboration and partnership. By convening experts and leaders from across sectors and disciplines, GUIRR will provide a forum for dialogue on key policy considerations by the administration and leaders throughout the cross-sectoral research enterprise.
