Webinar: Earth Summit Reflections: Thirty Years On, Where Do We Go From Here?
EDT Timezone
Although we marked the 30th anniversary of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit last year, we still are farther than ever from our sustainability goals.
In this webinar, the panel of experts will reflect on and answer questions at the intersection of food security, climate change, migration, desertification and land rights to address key directions about the future of people and the planet.
Short presentations will be followed by a moderated discussion and audience Q&A. Please send your questions in advance to lcsfs@wlu.ca.
