The mission of Aspen Global Change Institute is to advance global change science and solutions. We do this by furthering interdisciplinary understanding, catalyzing science-informed action, and nurturing a community of solutions-seekers.
For 35 years, Aspen Global Change Institute (AGCI) has helped make sense of change across Earth’s physical, natural, and human systems. As convenors and collaborators, we engage researchers and practitioners to work on the most important topics in global change and connect science and implementation. Our interdisciplinary work takes place at local, regional, and global scales, with a focus on energy transformation, community resilience, water in the U.S. West, and science and society. In all we do, we seek to co-generate relevant, reliable, and reputable knowledge and solutions to help mitigate and adapt to the impacts of global change.
AGCI was co-founded in 1989 by esteemed scientists Rick Chappell and John Katzenberger with funding from NASA to foster interdisciplinary conversations in global environmental change and Earth systems science. Since our inception, we have held more than 85 interdisciplinary scientific workshops, creating a diverse, collaborative network of over 1,900 scientists from 67 countries. In addition to furthering research on a specific topic, these workshops benefit the broader community, as meeting participants become ambassadors for interdisciplinary science, helping to break down barriers and promoting relevant scientific engagement with the public.
