SRI2025

The Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress celebrated its fifth anniversary in Chicago, Illinois, held from 16-19 June 2025 at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk hosted by the University of Illinois System. SRI is an annual convening focused on action-forward, knowledge-based and inclusive approaches to sustainability. SRI2025 was the first time the Congress was held in the United States.

SRI2025 spotlighted Pathways to Sustainability Solutions, sharing implementation strategies and legacies of successful approaches to critical sustainability concerns facing Chicago, the United States, and the globe. It also provided opportunities to overcome engagement, policy, resourcing, and other hurdles that slow our transformation to more resilient and equitable futures.
