Short Description of Activity

Special webinar —”Climate Activism in Life’s Third Act“—with environmentalist, author, and journalist Bill McKibben. Topics: 1) how Broads and other senior-powered conservation organizations can most effectively advocate against climate change, 2) how to work side-by-side with younger organizations—including knowing when it’s time to step aside and nurture the next generation of leaders, 3) specific crisis areas, especially in the Northeast, where activists can have the greatest impact.*planning meetings entered in June, additional emails, prep below.

Reflection/Evaluation

Powerful talk of McKibben’s long commitment to the Climate Crisis, as well as our current situation. WIth legislation at a stand still, he suggested we need to look at financing (or Wall St) as well as several other strategies to continue and strengthen the awareness of the serious, deadly changes in the climate.
