Additional Info

Together we can help Indiana adapt and thrive.

Hoosiers have a long history of rising to the challenge, whatever it may be. As we face accelerating environmental changes, the decisions we make today will have lasting repercussions for the future—and we have the opportunity now to steer Indiana’s course toward a bright and equitable future. Now is the time, and Indiana University is leading the way.

Climate change is already impacting the Midwest. Hotter temperature and more frequent extreme rainfall events threaten public health, water security, and economic vitality. Addressing greenhouse gas emissions is critical in Indiana, which ranks 49th in pollution and its related public health risks.

To IU, these circumstances highlight a need for leadership and enormous potential for Indiana to make significant strides toward resilience amid climate change. Through cutting-edge research, effective communication, and the development of practical tools and solutions, ERI is preparing our state and the Midwest for environmental change. But we need your support to reach further.

Help us lead into a more resilient future.

Interning as a McKinney Climate Fellow was one of the best experiences of my life. I had the opportunity to give back to the state of Indiana while staying connected and learning from other students and experts in the field of environmental sustainability.
