Great Lakes Insights

Let's bring the great lakes together

At the Council of the Great Lakes Region, we are committed to providing a forum for information, dialogue, and collaboration, with a shared vision for economic growth, environmental restoration and protection, and individual well-being, in one of the most prosperous, innovative, sustainable, and welcoming regions in the world.

Here you’ll find relevant research, diverse perspectives, and knowledge about pressing socioeconomic and environmental issues facing the region, as well as information about how the CGLR network of charitable and non-charitable entities are working to strengthen the region’s long-term competitiveness and sustainability.

The articles posted on our Great Lakes Insights page about the role of business in building a sustainable Great Lakes region and protecting the health of the Great Lakes are part of CGLR’s work to create an engaging network of companies and business leaders who are committed to building a better future in the region, vital work that is supported and funded by the Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation.
