Equity and Sustainability: 
A More Inclusive Vision for the Future

We are excited to announce our next Midwest Regional Sustainability Summit will take place on June 9, 2017, at Xavier University's Cintas Center. Mark your calendar to join us to deepen your understanding and expand your network.

In 2017, the Midwest Regional Sustainability Summit will explore new and promising areas of environmental sustainability, while also taking a deeper look at the issue of equity. We explore why equity is often overlooked in the discussion around sustainability, and the ways in which new economic opportunities can be pursued that are both socially and environmentally just. To underscore this point, the keynote speaker this year is Van Jones. Jones is, among many things, a leader working to build an equitable green economy. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in linking the economy, the environment and social justice, notably through initiatives he has founded such as The Dream Corps, Green for All and Rebuild the Dream.
