Climate change is the most pressing issue of our time. How we choose to act on this issue – or not act – will shape humanity for generations to come. In this talk, Kendra Pierre-Louis, will sketch out the scope of the problem and what it means to look at climate through the lens of solutions.What can we, as a society do, to limit the worst impacts of climate change? And how can we as individuals use our gifts in service to this transition?
