CONFRONTING THE CLIMATE CRISIS WITH SYSTEMIC ALTERNATIVES IN THE AGE OF CORONAVIRUS

A NEARLY CARBON-NEUTRAL CONFERENCE | #EHIClimateCOVID

Final Live Zoom Event/Discussion

Monday, Nov. 16, 8-10am

With the U.S. elections safely (one hopes) behind us after (some of) the world was very preoccupied with them in the past six or seven days, I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone know that our nearly carbon neutral conference will close with a final live Zoom meeting for anyone to reflect on the conference and what the recent U.S. elections might mean for our themes.

This will take place here:
