Online Event

Feeling overwhelmed by the climate crisis? You’re not alone.

In the face of mounting global challenges, it’s easy to feel powerless and unsure of how small changes can make a difference. On October 20, join experts from the Columbia Climate School and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory for a candid conversation about what real climate responsibility looks like at the personal, local, and systemic levels. Our panelists will discuss the connection between individual actions and large-scale societal efforts, all within the context of the planet’s rapidly changing climate and the evolution of climate awareness and action. Discover the steps we can each take to expand our impact.
