The Iowa Environmental Council and the Harkin Institute for Public Policy & Citizen Engagement have partnered together to create a dynamic, non-partisan education week open to the public, students, and the environmental community. Both groups see a need for enhanced dialogue, education, and awareness of the environmental and health issues facing our communities today and generations to come. For the first time, IEC and The Harkin Institute are partnering to create a week of learning, engagement, and action. Join us, September 24-26, 2024, as we hear from professionals in Iowa and across the country, explore current water systems supporting our community, and celebrate the efforts of individuals and groups.

Environmental Education Week will focus on water and air pollution, infectious disease health effects, community and social impact, environmental justice, and sustainable agriculture. We would love for you to join us at one of the many events during this week – you won’t want to miss it!
