An Orientation to the Polycrisis
This event was an introduction to our new Resilience+ Deep Dives, a series of events and curated materials that can help anyone better understand important aspects of the climate crisis. Featured speakers Dr. Lyla June Johnston and Kumi Naidoo discussed:
- How humanity’s pursuit of endless growth got us into this mess.
- Why climate change, biodiversity loss, and other issues are symptoms of a larger systemic problem.
- A framework for understanding the converging crises of the 21st century.
- Ways you can get involved in being part of the solution.
Facilitated by Post Carbon Institute Executive Director Asher Miller.
