SCIENCE AGAINST CAPITALISM: EXITING THE CLIMATE CRISIS

Participatory Climate Futures

With Mara Freilich

Climate change is already impacting locations around the world and while rapid mitigation of climate change remains urgent, efforts to adapt to climate change impacts have already begun. Climate change intersects with other anthropogenic forcing that is pushing beyond planetary boundaries not only due to carbon emissions but also accelerating biogeochemical cycles. Models are essential for understanding what the climate and environment may be for the next decades, the timescales over which policies are implemented and infrastructure is built. How can we generate and share climate information in ways that promote democracy and inclusion of marginalized communities in decision-making?

Join us on Saturday, Nov 11 at 3 PM ET for a seminar with climate scientist Mara Freilich, as we discuss biogeochemical cycling in aquatic ecosystems, climate modeling, and the role that community science and multi-sector collaboration can play in building climate solutions.
