Climate Change and the Urgency of Hope, Action, and Joy by Lisa Reyes Mason.
In this talk, Dr. Reyes Mason will highlight examples of climate injustice in the US and abroad, then provide ways to "connect the dots" and multi-solve the climate crisis with other societal problems, discuss strategies for action including collaborating across sectors and silos, and offer touchstones of hope and joy inspired by Christiana Figueres' approach to holding both "outrage and optimism" and Eve Tuck's "desire based" framework for community partnership and social change.
