About the lecture:
Climate change continues, even as we respond to the coronavirus and a national period of awakening in response to ongoing anti-Black violence. This raises an important question: how might COVID-19, national outrage over inequality, and the call for justice change our collective responses to climate change in terms of the economy, research, and journalism? This video of national leaders from academia, the non-profit sector, and journalism addressed that question. Featured speakers are: Mijin Cha, Occidental College; Kendra Pierre-Louis, Gimlet Media; and Jonathan Foley, Project Drawdown.
