EarthLab Salon: Equity and Justice-Centered Action for Climate Empowerment

Presented by Deb Morrison, Learning Scientist for UW Institute of Science and Math Education and Frank Niepold, Climate Education Coordinator for NOAA.

How can we accelerate equitable and just climate action? In this talk we explore this question, considering what kind of system changes are needed to ensure that everyone knows how to rapidly contribute from their sphere of influence to improve our shared future with respect to climate change and intersections issues. We will share about the nature of climate science as a field, the ways in which learning can be organized, and new transformative opportunities in practice that are emerging in the field of climate justice.

The EarthLab Salon is a 3-part quarterly public lecture and workshop series that provides a venue to share insights with a broad audience and start a much-needed cross-disciplinary conversation on the question of “What does it mean to center equity and justice in environmental work?”.

This series is designed to highlight expertise and leadership on this subject in the UW-wide community, especially among students, and build a foundation of shared understanding, values and language among participants. In doing so, we hope to foster opportunities for a new cross-cutting community to connect and collaborate on shared interests. We plan to take lessons learned into our work at EarthLab.
