Hurricanes, heat waves, floods, and fires. These extreme events, amplified by climate change, affect our food production, our water quality and supply, the safety of our homes and even our health. Climate change is a global threat, perhaps the greatest we have ever faced as a species, especially here at the heart of our Great Lakes. But is there hope? We think so.

Join us with one of the world’s leading climate scientists, Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, for a conversation where she will discuss bringing climate into the conversation and how conservation and industry can work together to build a brighter future for all Michiganders – and the lakes and lands we love.  
Jerry Norcia, CEO and president of DTE Energy, will join Katharine on stage following her talk for a conversation on sustainability and the environment moderated by Cynthia Williams, global director, sustainability, homologation, and compliance, Ford Motor Co.

Participants will enjoy networking, breakfast, and a book signing.Copies of Katharine's book, Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World, will be for sale at the event. Our program is generously sponsored, so there is no fee to attend, but spots are limited.
