This statewide conference will assess the state of New Jersey’s preparedness for a changing climate. Scientists, practitioners, and decision makers will come together to assess how far the Garden State has come in preparing for climate change and what critical decisions and strategies are needed now and into the future to protect our people, places and assets. The conference is designed to provide timely and practical insights for practitioners, decision makers, and policy makers at the state, federal and local levels as well as in the private sector.

Mindy S. Lubber, CEO, President of Ceres, a global nonprofit organization working with the most influential investors and companies to drive solutions throughout the economy to advance sustainable climate solutions, will be the keynote speaker.
