The Penn State Institute of Energy and the Environment will host an in-person Climate Solutions Symposium on May 19-20 at the Penn Stater Conference Center in State College.
Two pre-Symposium events will be held May 18-- a tree-planting event to help restore a reclaimed abandoned mine site and a kickoff reception at the Palmer Museum Of Art.
The two-day Symposium will foster collaboration and develop actionable climate solutions through--
-- Dynamic breakout sessions and panel discussions
-- Talks from climate thought leaders
-- An interactive poster session highlighting innovations from across disciplines
-- Networking opportunities
The keynote speaker will be Nemonte Nenquimo, an Indigenous activist and leader of the Waorani Nation from Ecuador's Amazon region.
