Indiana Sustainability and Resilience Conference

Connecting Hoosier climate leaders

The Indiana Sustainability and Resilience Conference (ISRC) connects Hoosier climate leaders to the knowledge, tools, and resources that can accelerate climate action and resilience efforts in Indiana.

The conference brings together sustainability professionals, scholars, and climate advocates from across the state to enhance cross-sector collaboration, share best practices, and strengthen Indiana's climate and resilience network.

Held annually, ISRC is hosted by the IU Environmental Resilience Institute with support from the McKinney Family Foundation.

Past conference highlights

Resilience in action

In February 2025, attendees at the annual Indiana Sustainability and Resilience Conference were asked to respond to the prompt, “One thing I’m doing to advance resilience is…”

More than 100 individuals participated, writing down an action they were taking to advance sustainability and resilience in their community and beyond.

Check out the #ISRC2025 Action Map to view responses arranged by category and location.
