When: February 08, 2018 6:00pm

Series topic: "Oral Histories and Ocean Samples: All Data Tells a Climate Story"

Effective environmental conservation requires obtaining data through multifaceted techniques. In this series four Carson Scholars will explore how methods as personal as storytelling to strategies as remote as robotic sampling are used to conserve our planet and its inhabitants. 

Talk: "Mapping Our Climate Justice Stories: How We Can Support a Just Transition to Renewable Energy Through Web-Based Mapping"

Presenter: Megan Mills-Novoa, Ph.D. student, School of Geography and Development

Talk description: In order to prevent global temperatures from rising above dangerous thresholds, we urgently need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and transition toward renewable energy. A socially just response to climate change requires an equitable transition from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy, while redressing past harms and creating new alliances. The Climate Alliance Mapping Project (CAMP) works with indigenous and environmental organizations to build climate justice story maps in the Amazon basin and the United States. This interactive presentation will explore CAMP's story maps and think about how to tell our own climate justice stories through this new web platform.
