About\nthe series:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nClimate Justice and Resilience events constitute a year-long series that runs\napproximately biweekly throughout the 2020-21 academic year. Each event is\nhosted by a different Evergreen program, and guests are welcome to attend\neither synchronously (at a time fixed by the host program) or asynchronously\n(webinar recordings will be available as soon as possible after the\nevent).  This work builds on several climate-related summer institutes,\nlast year\u2019s \u201cbig bets\u201d climate proposal, and the visioning for potential\nincorporation of climate-related curricular areas into New Academic Directions.\nIn addition, the 2-credit class \u201cClimate Academy: Justice and Resilience\u201d\n(currently sponsored by Rachel Hastings) is offered each quarter based on this\nevent series and associated readings.
