How Can We “Stop” Climate Change?!

On the evening of Monday, November 8, Dr. Foley will deliver an inspiring presentation:

Meet Dr. Foley
Dr. Foley is a leading climate scientist, sustainability expert, educator and public speaker. His work focuses on finding solutions to sustain the climate, ecosystems, and natural resources we all depend on.
* Project Drawdown is the world’s leading resource for climate solutions. Its mission is to help the world reach “Drawdown”— the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change — as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible.
For an introduction to the topic, explore the Project Drawdown website at
https://www.drawdown.org , where you can watch “Climate Solutions 101,” a series of six short and impressive videos hosted by Jonathan Foley. You can also check out the book Drawdown, edited by Paul Hawken.
