Come join us for Let’s Talk Climate, a series of informal conversations about climate change, served up with some tasty foods.
Facilitators will start each session by sharing some ideas and information about the day’s topic to set the stage, and then engage the group in an open discussion. We’ll have some discussion questions in mind to help guide the conversations, but we’ll let the conversations go where you and other participants want to take them.
Women and communities of color disproportionately suffer the impacts of climate change. In addition, there is a call to diversify the voices that contribute to the scientific assessment of climate knowledge. For example, a study published in Nature this year suggests the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change needs to “do more to include the expertise and voices of women, even as numbers and policies improve.” In this session, we will discuss the challenges underrepresented groups face not only as a result of climate change but also when serving as a climate expert and participating in the climate movement more broadly.
- Facilitators: Professor Kristin Strock and Professor Alyssa Decker
