This Climate Week, join MIT Open Learning for a conversation about putting climate knowledge to work for solutions.
You may have heard the saying that “all jobs are climate jobs,” but what do people need to know and be able to do in order to act on climate solutions, and how do they learn it? This session explores the essential role of climate literacy and capacity-building as an accelerator of climate action. Through an expert panel and small-group discussions, participants will dive into how we can mobilize knowledge and build agency across ages, geographies, and industries.
Speakers:
Andel Koester, Director of Community Initiatives, New York Climate Exchange
Deb L. Morrison, Scholar in Residence, Institute for Research Experiences and Education, Underwriter Laboratories Research Institutes & University of Washington
Tom Di Liberto, Media Director, Climate Central
Moderator: Haley Crim, Climate Curriculum Designer, MIT Open Learning
