Description

The Gulf Futures initiative (Gulf Futures) seeks to mobilize people and resources in the Gulf States to address critical issues emerging from ongoing and future transitions occurring across the region. Gulf Futures supports Gulf communities to better understand, anticipate, and adapt to future challenges and opportunities resulting from a continuously changing coastal environment and climate, shifting energy sources and uses, and impacts on the future health and resilience of communities. Gulf Futures activities are interdisciplinary and invite opportunities to amplify positive change through partnerships and collaboration with and across Gulf-focused sectors and organizations.
