The 2021 Climate Action Pursuit
Toward Justice and Resilience

The Climate Action Pursuit – being hosted by Second Nature and the Intentional Endowments Network (IEN) throughout 2021 – is a brand-new approach that will create knowledge-to-action teams who will work together to accomplish goals in six topic areas that are central to the higher education sector in addition to our nation’s climate priorities.

A series of milestone check-in points throughout 2021 will focus on learning, planning, acting, and leading on equity and climate on our campuses, in our communities, and across our society and economy. The event is 100% virtual.

The four milestone events will offer a compelling agenda of virtual programming, scheduled over the course of 2-3 days.
