SUMMARY:Climate\, Energy and Sustainability Governance Convergence Café
DESCRIPTION:April 8th\, 2026\n9:45am – 2:00pm\nCook Student Center\, Multipurpose Room \nSee agenda here \n\n\n\nContemporary sustainability challenges are characterized by complex ecological and socio-economic systems\, diffuse impacts\, deep uncertainty\, and possible irreversible tipping points. Current institutional frameworks\, policy responses\, and research agendas often struggle to address highly interconnected problems\, particularly those that span multiple scales from local to global and involve diverse actors across government\, market\, and civil society and community sectors. Focusing on sustainability governance – or the structures\, processes\, and actions through which actors organize collective action to address complex\, interrelated\, and often non-linear socio-environmental challenges – presents a critical shift in how we approach planetary crises.   \n\nThis Convergence Café aims to bring together RCEI affiliate scholars and other full-time Rutgers faculty and staff to mobilize interdisciplinary research teams focused on key themes in sustainability governance across all four RCEI Focus Areas (Earth System Science; Renewable Energy\, Technology and Energy Conservation; Human Dimensions of Climate Mitigation\, Adaptation\, and Resilience; and Climate Change Communication and Environmental Humanities).  \nThis event is for you if you are:  \n\nInterested in learning how other Rutgers scholars approach sustainability governance challenges across different contexts and systems \nThinking about how the environmental\, social or economic data you are producing interfaces with policy and decision-making processes\nSearching for collaborators to develop interdisciplinary research on policy\, institutions\, behavior\, communications and other governance innovations that are being developed to improve sustainability problems\nInterested on integrating questions of justice and equity\, which are central to enduring sustainability outcomes\, into your research\nLooking to increase competitiveness within funding programs that emphasize transdisciplinary sustainability research and broader impacts in a challenging funding environment\nSeeking to develop community partnerships that co-produce knowledge and pilot alternative governance approaches\nIn need of planning funds to get a relevant project off the ground\n\nThis Convergence Café will feature plenary presentations on sustainability governance frameworks\, panel discussion to introduce current work by faculty on topics such as risk communication\, participatory planning and stakeholder engagement\, multiscalar governance\, and other issues\, and structured networking sessions centered on thematic areas (including governance of food\, biodiversity\, energy\, and fisheries).  \nLearn more about RCEI Convergence Cafes here. \n\n\n\nRegistration Deadline is April 2 at 11:59 PM.
