Convene climate innovators and inspire change
Chicago Innovation polled its audience to ask “What is the biggest challenge of our time?”
The #1 response was Climate Change.
From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. They affect every species on the planet.
