Equitable Solutions to the Climate Crisis
Return to Evergreen, Saturday, October 15
Afternoon Breakout Sessions
2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. | Purce Hall 4
Evergreen’s new Center for Climate Action and Sustainability (CCAS) Director, Anthony Levenda Ph.D., will lead a panel discussion with Evergreen alumni Candace Penn, Mason Rolph, Joel Clement, and Kathleen Saul focusing on climate action and climate justice. From Tribal government to federal government to non-profit organizations, each of our panelists will share how different sectors play a role in helping mitigate climate-change-causing greenhouse gases and, at the same time, prepare for the changes ahead. Each of the panelists will share insights from their own work, how they keep motivated while doing difficult work, and the value of their Evergreen education in tackling the many challenges that a climate-changed world poses to our communities.
