Resilience Research in Action

The annual symposium brings together university faculty, researchers, staff, students, practitioners, artists, and community members interested in applied interdisciplinary research on climate resilience, adaptation, and environmental justice.

Through multiple presentation formats and opportunities for dialogue and exchange, Resilience Research in Action highlights the work of PT2050 project teams and partners, as well as that of other researchers and students exploring diverse and intersecting aspects of resilience. The event is part of our broader efforts to build a community of collaborators through the sharing of ideas, research, tools, and strategies aimed at shaping more resilient communities throughout Texas and beyond.

For our 2024 iteration, highlights included the opening keynote delivered by Dr. Jonathan Foley of Project Drawdown, a closing keynote panel featuring panel featuring Pooja Tilvawala from the Youth Climate Collaborative, as well as panels centered on key environmental and social challenges facing the city of Austin.  In total we had about 70 people contribute to our symposium program and over 300 attendees.
