About the Sustainability Research Conference Series
The Stanford Initiative on Business and Environmental Sustainability Research Conference Series is hosted by Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.
Actionable climate science is increasingly in demand by communities, governments and the private sector. In concert, improved observations, theoretical understanding and numerical modeling increasingly highlight how significantly all parts of the climate system are coupled to societal activity.

In concert, improved observations, theoretical understanding, and numerical modeling increasingly highlight how significantly all parts of the climate system are coupled to societal activity. The interconnectedness between the ‘anthroposphere’ and the traditional realms of climate science (the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere) requires climate scientists to engage with decision makers and stakeholders in a sustained two-way conversation. Climate forecasts are in high demand by industries whose behavior introduces significant uncertainty into those same forecasts.
This conference will bring together climate scientists and engineers from academia, government, and the private sector, as well as scholars who use climate science to inform policy and decision-making. A mix of talks and panels will explore the spectrum of climate science from the theoretical to the practical, emphasizing the links between fundamental climate science and real-world implications for communities. We are particularly interested in exploring how climate scientists can help society navigate the rapidly changing baseline of a warming world.
Conference Application
Conference attendance will be limited.
