Universities are building meaningful partnerships with communities, governments and civil society to support co-learning and the development of integrated climate solutions that are just and sustainable. In the near-term, universities have strong roles to play to develop equitable solutions to meet urgent needs such as addressing methane emissions, energy transitions and implementation. This event will bring together leadership from various university-housed centers to share about their collaborative research partnerships and the impactful results of these joint efforts.
