Justice Through Climate Resilience

Saturday, February 1, 2025 1:00–1:50 PM

Description

Through this discussion, we invite community members into the conversation of climate injustice (that marginalized communities are more impacted by climate change globally), discuss what climate impacts we are facing at Colgate, and encourage conversations regarding current and future climate impacts on vulnerable populations and potential community-oriented solutions. This session will look at current emission mitigation practices at our campus as a form of climate justice while having a broader discussion on how we can continue to mitigate impacts and increase our scope. Participants will be able to better understand current practices and help shape future practices of the university.Presenters: DaQuan Hurt '26, Harshitha Talasila '26, Julia Sparks DaQuan Hurt '26 (he/him); major: environmental economics; women's, gender, and sexuality studies; hometown: Salt Lake City, UT Harshitha Talasila '26 (she/her); major: environmental studies; Minor: peace and conflict studies; hometown: Hopewell Junction, NY Julia Sparks (she/her), assistant director of sustainability/environmental studies program coordinator; hometown: Atlanta, GA
