Abstract
CSU Climate Hub at Spur is a new collaborative initiative to increase the impact of CSU’s science by serving as an accessible entry point for external partners. The Hub offers interdisciplinary climate services that translate CSU research into decision-ready tools for organizations across sectors. In addition, the Hub provides upskilling opportunities through custom training that build climate leadership. Based at the Spur campus in Denver, the Hub is also well-positioned to convene people and ideas across disciplines and industries to co-create practical, place-based solutions to climate challenges.In this presentation, Dr. Veera Mitzner, the Director of the CSU Climate Hub at Spur, will speak about her vision for the Climate Hub, the Hub’s first activities, and participation opportunities for CSU faculty and staff. This colloquium session will be an opportunity to not only learn about the Climate Hub but also engage in a new university-wide initiative aiming to accelerate evidence-based climate work across Colorado and beyond.
