The Climate and The People

Thursday, April 15, 2021

Session Description

Equitable climate solutions are not just about reaching a popular consensus, they require us to ensure the voices of all those who will be impacted are actually heard. The latest social science insights are illuminating how communities truly feel about the climate, and are helping us better understand parts of the population who become disengaged by media-prominent activists like Former Vice President Al Gore and Greta Thunberg.

As we rise to the challenge of creating a more climate just future, this panel brings together storytellers, social scientists, policymakers, and community organizers who need to work together as never before.

This session was curated in partnership with Doc Society.
