The IEC network builds and empowers our ecosystem of like-minded professionals and change agents from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors to connect, share and act to create sustainable solutions for a climate-smart inclusive economy.
In late September 2015, leading up to COP21 in Paris, the Hunt Institute for Engineering & Humanity organized the Climate Extremes Forum, the largest-ever climate conference in Dallas at the time, focusing on the intersection of poverty and climate change. Over 300 leaders from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors gathered, calling for the continuation of the connections and dialogue that started on that day. With that idea, the Consortium was born.
