Second Nature and the Intentional Endowments Network would again like to thank everyone who participated in the year-long 2021 Climate Action Pursuit! Thank you to our planning design committee, sponsors, host institutions, organizational partners, Second Nature & IEN staff and interns, and all of you who "attended"!

If you are looking for the December session recordings, please note that session recordings from ALL milestone events will be made publicly available after the First of the Year. Stay tuned!

If you need to get a hold of us with any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at: communications@secondnature.org.

We also would like to encourage you to sign-up on our "Be in the Know" email list for the virtual Higher Education Climate Leadership Summit taking place April 5-8, 2022! More information forthcoming about the Summit, including registration discounts available to Pursuit participants.

Pursue Knowledge - Pushing the Frontiers of Knowledge with Digital Twins

Click VIDEO STREAM to watch the recording of this session.

Kick off the “Knowledge” track on the first day of this Climate Action Pursuit milestone by sharing big ideas - how new tools are being applied in new ways to revolutionize and democratize the fields of smart city planning, campus energy retrofits, construction, and climate resilience.

Some key takeaways from this session:

One doesn’t need to spend millions of dollars to test out a new project or service or wait until a new building is completed to see how it will impact a campus; instead lower-cost simulations can be used (“digital twins”).
Part of the transition away from fossil fuels means using decentralized systems like microgrids, and a lot of complexity - which makes greater data processing, modeling, and real-time analysis necessary
