CU Anschutz Climate & Health Week

Oct. 5-8, 2026

We are pleased to announce an energetic gathering of thought leaders, faculty, students, and community members to a major convening on health and resilience solutions for a changing climate.

The world has changed at a dizzying pace… and as the climate crisis accelerates, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and renewable energy upend our historic assumptions and strategies.

We’re planning a series of campus-wide events to enlighten upon the latest opportunities - from sustainability in healthcare to building climate-resilient communities - and to forge greater capacity within our own ranks-- solidifying CU Anschutz as first movers and academic thought leaders on this critical topic.

We will showcase our campus Schools and Programs; connect the four CU campuses; convene the Colorado health community and bring national experts to Colorado for an IMPACT Summit.
