Forum offered online and in the Hinckley Institute caucus room - Room 2018, Gardner Commons.

Overview:

Climate change and environmental resilience are serious topics—topics that can instill fear and uncertainty about our future. Headlines, articles and features that highlight impending crises are abundant while content that inspires climate hope is hard to come by. While our situation is serious, maintaining hope is essential for our path forward.

Presented as part of 2024 Earth Month, this event will highlight some of the incredible work being done on our campus, in our community and beyond to address climate change and build a more resilient environment. The truth is, there is reason to hope. And with that hope, we can each continue the fight for a better future.
