Session 2: From Myths to Effective Climate Action – Climate Literacy 101: On a Path to Climate Success
June 3, 2020 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Session 2: From Myths to Effective Climate Action
Wednesday, June 3rd
12pm-1pm
Dr. Mark Jaccard will speak on how climate-concerned citizens can overcome myths that hinder us from acting in time to prevent extreme climate impacts. Their actions can involve personal consumption choices (electric vehicles, heat pumps) but these only have an effect if citizens are also engaged in the political process and civil society to elect and support climate-sincere politicians. These personal and collective efforts must align with and foster a global strategy of decarbonization, especially in developing countries. Come to the talk to find out what is required on a simple path to climate success and what you can contribute.
About this Event
Are you an SFU student, faculty member, or staff climate champion committed to growing your understanding of climate science and pathways for change?
Climate Literacy 101 is an opportunity to learn from and engage with leading climate science and policy experts at Simon Fraser University. We are grateful to have Dr. Kirsten Zickfeld and Dr. Mark Jaccard presenting on the state of the climate and how citizens can contribute to climate success, and participating in a Q&A session over Zoom. The event series, co-hosted by the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions and Embark, will close with information about ongoing campus climate action initiatives and ways to get involved at SFU.
