Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference 2024 (ICR24)
The Wilson Center partnered with Battelle for the third annual Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference. The urgent need for scalable solutions to meet the challenge presented by the climate crisis inspired ICR24's theme, "Solutions for Scaling Change."
ICR24 gathered environmental professionals, scientists, researchers, students, and leaders from the White House, Department of Energy, National Labs, Department of Defense, industry, and academia to enable innovations in climate resilience. This community came together to discuss transformative ideas and explore real solutions to address climate change threats to our environment, health, communities, national security, and economic well-being, from the perspective of three overarching themes—adaptation, mitigation, sustainability.
This conference was presented and hosted by Battelle.
