Environmental changes should concern all Hoosiers, especially knowing that these conditions are only expected to get worse. The size and scope of these challenges—from big threats to less obvious consequences of environmental changes — demand our attention and require a new level of collaboration among public and private stakeholders.
In response, Indiana University has announced a $55 million initiative — Prepared for Environmental Change — in collaboration with a bipartisan coalition of government, industry, and community leaders. It is part of IU’s Grand Challenges commitment to reprioritize resources to address some of the most critical issues facing our state.
