Event Details

Poster for Durban to Davis event

On Thursday, March 1,  International House Daviswill host a panel discussion on global climate change. The event is free and open to the public.

Despite ever more stark warnings from climate scientists, politicians globally have been very slow to tackle global warming. The recent UN climate talks in Durban, South Africa were no exception.

What are the reasons for international inaction? Can cities like Davis demonstrate how strategic investment in a low-carbon future can create healthy, vibrant communities? How can we get involved in the Cool California city challenge to become one of the "coolest" cities in California?


Speakers:

Nick Buxton, Transnational Institute
Participated in last three UN climate talks

Chris Jones, Cool California
UC Berkeley Research Associate

Chris Granger, Cool Davis
Co-coordinator of the Cool Davis Festival

 

The event will be a zero-waste event. I-house is located at 10 College Park, Davis 95616
