Climate Conscious Corps Conference

The Climate Conscious Conference aims to provide a learning platform about the ways in which climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, emphasizing the intersection of environmental issues with social justice, economic inequality, equity, and human rights. The conference will make connections across stakeholders in academia, NGOs, and government agencies and highlight the efforts of graduate student groups in the Korbel School of International Studies. The scholars and experts invited to this conference will have multidisciplinary backgrounds to provide unique perspectives on the intersectional nature of climate change issues and their global impact.
