On May 12, 2023, Green Umbrella will host the 10th Midwest Regional Sustainability Summit at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati, Ohio
IMAGINE WHAT'S POSSIBLE
Our 2023 theme invites us to come together in collective hope and renewed resilience amidst the climate crisis. We hope this conference can be a spark for connecting, learning together, deepening our resolve, and joyously finding our places in the mighty “we” rising to secure a just and livable future.
We hope you'll join us as we imagine visionary and inspiring possibilities that inform, empower, and motivate our actions to create a more vibrant, equitable, and thriving region. With the pressure to address the climate crisis with increased urgency, it is natural to feel climate anxiety and grief. How can we acknowledge the challenges we face while moving beyond perceived limitations to find optimism and active hope? What kind of world is possible if we get this right?

Possibility at the Local, Regional, and National Levels
This year's plenary will dig deep into climate justice action and possibility at the neighborhood, metro, and national levels. Three prominent sustainability leaders from the National League of Cities, Hoosier Environmental Council, and Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, will join our keynote speaker and share key insights into how neighborhood-level action can support more resilient metro-regions, how regional action can support a more resilient nation, and how national action can support neighborhoods and regions across the Midwest. We'll explore what's possible when each of these levels align and work together to make a transformative impact.
