A Lecture by Dr. Alex Barron

Dr. Alex Barron is an Associate Professor of Environmental Science and Policy at Smith College. Previously, he designed climate policies in Congress and worked with the Obama and Biden Administrations.

At least 13 colleges and universities in the US claim to be carbon neutral. Is it greenwashing or climate leadership? What would a science-based and justice-informed approach to campus emissions reductions look like? Learn how schools are (and aren’t) taking action.

This event is open to the public.
