Why should we care about these issues?
In a globalized world their problems are our problems
Climate change is coming to our neighborhoods too
Be part of a conversation that stretches back 10,000 years
Every profession and institution will need to come to terms with these issues
Globally
At the national level
Within state and local communities
In businesses large and small
At schools and universities
In individual households
Where do we meet?
How can we help to build the bridge?
Time to Learn:
The Science
The interface
The institutions
The areas of contention
The vocabulary of arguments
How can we help to build the bridge?
Time to lead:
Citizen
Consumer
Communicator
Change Agent
A new world is being created around usYou have a chance to shape it!
