On November 15th and 16th, 2019 in Flagstaff, Arizona, Northern Arizona University, Arizona state University, University of Arizona and communities throughout the state convened on the first statewide, solutions-focused climate summit.

This summit featured talks from nationally-recognized voices and researchers on climate change such as Katharine Hayhoe and indigenous performances such as hip-hop artist Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, and former Governnor of Arizona and Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt. Its aim was to transform the conversation, moving beyond drought contingency plans and into a comprehensive and future-oriented framework of creative and science-driven decision-making. The summit was organized by Ecoss (NAU), the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals, the Center for health Equity Research (NAU), the Green Fund (NAU), the Sustainability Program at the City of Flagstaff, Vitalyst Foundation and other partners.
