Indiana University and its Kelley School of Business are joining more than 20 leading Midwestern higher education institutions, non-profits and local governments convening to develop a Midwestern response to the climate crisis.
To accelerate climate action in the short term, the Midwest Climate Summit on Friday, Oct. 2 will present a series of virtual keynotes and workshops, which organizers hope will set the stage for ambitious activities with partner organizations in the spring.
Kelly Eskew, clinical professor of business law and ethics at Kelley, is on the steering committee, along with Janet McCabe, professor of practice at the IU McKinney School of Law and director of IU’s Environmental Resilience Institute; and IU student Izzy Diagostino, program coordinator for the Integrated Program in the Environment.
