Climate Change 360: Climate Change Solutions Across Scales – from Personal Action to Global Transformation on Six Fronts
In August, the Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church is presenting a virtual lecture series about climate change — its causes, direct and indirect effects, policies that can impact its course, and actions we can take as individuals, households, businesses, schools, and faith communities to make a difference.
On August 25, University of Washington professor Phoebe Barnard will discuss Climate Change Solutions Across Scales – from Personal Action to Global Transformation on Six Fronts.
Her talk will focus on turning plans and policies into effective action and management, focusing on the six areas of recommended action in World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency paper (energy, pollutants, nature, food systems, population stabilization, economic reforms), of which she was one of five core coauthors (with 13,800+ scientist cosignatories). Dr. Barnard will highlight which of these are firmly under our personal control at some level, and how – versus those which require us to elect leaders who will institute the needed policies and laws. Or, who will manage the situation of increasing chaos, if we fail to take transformative action in time.
Dr. Phoebe Barnard is a global change scientist, public policy wonk, communications strategist and filmmaker with a passion for transformative sustainability change. She is also the Conservation Biology Institute’s Associate Strategist, Affiliate Full Professor at University of Washington, and Research Associate at University of Cape Town.
Time for interactive discussion will be provided after his talk.
