Our return to an in-person gathering in beautiful Tucson focused on the powerful role education can play in creating healthier communities and tackling today’s complex environmental and social issues.
We delved into vital topics in our field, such as climate change education and climate justice, the benefits of connecting to nature, building a green workforce, protecting biodiversity, and centering equity in our work. We explored creative new approaches that emerged from the pandemic and ways in which current research can increase our effectiveness as we work to transform communities so they are more just and sustainable.
The inspiring and thoughtful keynotes, a rich variety of workshops, symposia, traditional sessions, research panels, roundtable discussions, bright spots, and posters, provided our attendees opportunities for networking, growth, and change.
