Wallace Stegner Center 30th Annual Symposium
Breathing Easier: Air Pollution Challenges and Solutions | March 20-21, 2025
The symposium will consider air pollution’s environmental and human health tolls—including the unequal burdens air pollution places on disadvantaged communities. Despite gains in many places, air pollution remains a vexing problem across the nation. In Utah, winters bring inversions and particulate matter pollution, and summers deliver increased ground-level ozone pollution. The Wasatch Front regularly exceeds national ambient air quality standards, exacerbated by the region’s unique geography and meteorology. March 20-21, 2025
Wallace Stegner Center 29th Annual Symposium
The Renewable Energy Transition: Building a Bright Future | March 14-15, 2023
The Stegner Center’s 29th annual symposium will focus on the challenge of transitioning to a carbon neutral energy system and related sustainability, environmental, and human health concerns. The symposium will address practical questions, like facility siting, supply chain adequacy, and permitting reform, as well as concerns about environmental justice, public participation and transparency, and implementing meaningful strategies to avoid, reduce and minimize impacts to communities and ecological resources.
