For nearly 30 years, the Iowa Environmental Council has served as the largest statewide non-profit environmental coalition, leading the way in educating, informing, and addressing environmental concerns. Through education, advocacy, and coalition-building, we raise awareness, generate action, and create large-scale change.
IEC’s mission is a just, healthy environment and sustainable future for all Iowans. We envision a state that is a leader in addressing climate change and environmental justice, and in creating resilient communities that embody Iowans shared values of respect for all people and the environment.
For years, IEC held an annual educational conference that brought 250+ people to greater Des Moines to learn and engage with one another on environmental issues. Attendees enjoyed dynamic, nationally known keynote speakers, including Bill McKibbin, Francis Moore-Lappe, and others. They learned from panel discussions and breakout sessions on themes such as Sustainable Agriculture, Environmental Economics, Action and Local Solutions, Environmental Justice, and more. They built relationships with environmental organizations and businesses serving the environmental community.
We are excited to bring back the annual conference in 2024 to provide the environmental community in Iowa a place to learn, grow, and be motivated for the continuing work of building a just, healthy environment and sustainable future for all Iowans.
We will host the 2024 Annual Conference at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden on Friday, September 27.
