To many, climate change is abstract, uncertain, impersonal, and seemingly distant, even as the frequency of climate-related events continues to increase in many parts of the world. In reality, the story of climate change is in fact a deeply human one, a story that requires us to shift the conversation on climate change to one focused on peace, prosperity and public health.
Join Mrs. Green at The Core as she discusses the importance of changing the conversation on climate change to a broad-based exciting social movement! This fun and engaging conversation will give you tips on how we can work together to avoid the worst of climate change, prepare for the future, and take action now!
