Climate Change at the Crossroads
Tuesday April 18, 7:00-9:00 pm
Textor Hall, Rm 102
Free and open to the public
How are fossil fuels a human rights issue? How is the climate crisis driving refugee crises in Muslim nations? How do U.S. military leaders view climate change? How does climate activism intersect with the struggle for racial justice? What of the economic promises of renewable energy? And how can we join the upcoming March for Science and Climate March?
Dr. Sandra Steingraber will be joined by a panel of experts and activists to discuss the intersectionalities of climate change and the future of environmental activism in the current political climate, with a special focus on local initiatives. Dr. Steingraber is a distinguished scholar in residence at Ithaca College. She is a biologist, author, and activist. This event is part of Ithaca College Sustainability [Earth] Week.
