Hope to see you at these events and the many others planned for Climate week at Penn! This will include 1.5 minute climate lectures with faculty, 1.5min lectures with students, a discussion on how we can reduce our Carbon Footprint at home, a discussion with the lead US negotiator of the Paris climate agreement (https://climateweek.provost.upenn.edu/event/paris-agreement-five-years-later) and many other exciting events.
Faculty - perhaps you can incorporate some of these exciting events into your classes of that week?
here’s a toast to saving the planet!
Irina.
