Part 3 of a 4-part series designed to clarify major concerns and inspire conversation about issues concerning the nation under the Trump presidency and a Republican majority in both houses of Congress. Sessions are free and open to the public, followed by a desert reception.

“What’s Next for the Country?: Climate Change and Environmental Policy” on Tuesday, April 4, 7:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m. in Great Hall.  Panelists include:

Kim Smith, Professor of Environmental Studies and Political Science at Carleton, will speak about the effort to create a national climate policy, from the 2007 Supreme Court decision Massachusetts v EPA to President Trump’s recent Executive Order regarding the CPP.  She will clarify the legal context and map out some possibilities for moving forward.

Ellen Anderson ’82, Executive Director of the University of Minnesota’s Energy Transition Lab, will address trends in our energy transition – where we have been, where we are going, and what it will take to get to a functioning low-carbon energy system.

Dan Hernández, Associate Professor of Biology at Carleton, will discuss how climate change threatens our conservation priorities.
