| Abstract: |
People, communities, and nature are directly and indirectly affected by long-term shifts in the environment. Transformative action is necessary to respond to these shifts and infuse sustainable practices throughout affected sectors and communities. Higher education institutions are central in identifying sustainable and resilient paths forward that incorporate fundamental research, workforce development, education, and community engagement. On February 5, 2025, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and convened a public workshop to build upon national dialogues and explore additional mechanisms to advance the role of the higher education sector in supporting sustainability and resilience. The Board on Higher Education and Workforce, in collaboration with the National Academies Climate Crossroads initiative, brought together higher education stakeholders to share visions of collaboration and success, possible frameworks for cooperation and implementation, and potential partners for sustainability and resilience initiatives -- including surrounding communities, industry, and state and local government. This publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of the workshop. [This content is provided in the format of an e-book.] |
