เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 28 ม.ค. 2015
The Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment (iSEE) is the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's response to society's growing need for solutions to the ever-growing demand for food, water and energy while ensuring a safe, productive, and sustainable environment for all global citizens.
This will be accomplished as iSEE shepherds “actionable research” and equips current and future scientific and policy leaders to solve global problems in sustainability, energy, and environment - while using the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus and the local community as a living laboratory. The overarching goal: to become a global model of sustainability by creating effective, positive change.
On this channel you'll find highlights of the research, campus sustainability, and outreach activities we facilitate.

Catalyzing New Solutions
Over two days, “Envisioning Equitable Transitions to Sustainable Transportation Systems” will bring together a diverse group of researchers, educators, industry professionals, and activists to discuss urgent questions about transitioning to low-carbon transportation systems - whatever they might be - while addressing the needs of all populations regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic standing.
In this video, Catalyzing New Solutions, the session focuses on the following questions: Where should communities look for funding or government partnerships to implement innovative and sustainable transportation infrastructure? How do we make sure that funding is available to historically disadvantaged communities and that funded projects represent community needs? Shifting gears, is the workforce ready to support the deployment of sustainable transportation infrastructure? What type of initiatives are needed to tackle labor shortages or skill gaps? How do we increase diversity in the transportation workforce? The goals of this gathering are to introduce attendees to cutting-edge issues surrounding sustainable transportation and social justice, to build bridges across different approaches, disciplines, and geographies, and to chart new directions toward a sustainable, and just, future.
This event, a collaboration between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), is supported by generous funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
