Clark faculty who attended the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Brazil will share key takeaways from the global event.
Panelists will include:
- Lou Leonard, D.J.A. Spencer Dean of the School of Climate, Environment, and Society
- Florencia Sangermano, Associate Professor of Geography
- Abby Frazier, Assistant Professor of Geography
How did the absence of the United States affect the global negotiations? Did the location — Belém, Brazil, “gateway to the Amazon” — impact how Indigenous communities were represented? What roadmap did COP30 provide for the next decade?
This panel discussion for the Clark community will be moderated by Biology Professor Kate Mathis and a representative of the student-run Environmental Action Council.
