Description

For most of us, managing greenhouse gas emissions and watching distant islands flood or glaciers melt are far beyond our reach. However, the pervasive reach of an environmental reckoning means we have local issues, with much for all of us to work on. This panel brings together scholars and community members to discuss multiple ways to understand climate work.

A panel event moderated by Public Policy's Professor Susan Sterett.

Chris Blume, Doctoral student, UMBC’s ICARE alumnus
