Description
Thursday, November 9, 2023 @ 7:00 pm EST - Why We Didn't Act on Climate and How to Act Now: Lessons learned from geology to behavioral science
Dr. Caroly Shumway, Director of the Center for Behavior and Climate
We've known about fossil fuel's increasingly harmful impact on our atmosphere since at least the 1950's. Why didn't we act? We'll explore the changing relationship between science, government, business, people, and climate action, what holds people back from acting, and how to accelerate climate actions and policies with behavior change.
What will you gain?
Insights into why people struggle to accept the science related to climate change and how we might work to change that.
Who should apply?
Anyone who is interested.
