Workshop Report
Through this workshop, we aim to highlight projects that integrate multiple sustainability-related objectives in strategies in synergistic ways. In this way, the workshop aims to identify barriers to innovation and to chart a clear path for the practice of integrative blue-green infrastructure design in service of a more climate ready and resilient Great Lakes Basin. The workshop process and findings can be found below.
Re-imagining Water II has been made possible by a grant from the Council of the Great Lakes Region, with input from the members of the Great Lakes Higher Education Consortium, an initiative of the Council. Matching research funding has been provided by the Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin and the University of Toronto.
