Description:

Polls show tens of millions of Americans believe more should be done to address global warming and climate change —the challenge is that voters don't understand how their vote can impact these issues.

Join us in a moderated panel discussion in recognition of Global Climate Change Week (Oct. 19 – 25). Hosted by ISEN, CESR, and sustainNU, the discussion will focus on educating attendees and promoting greater awareness on how their vote can effect change and positively influence climate action and environmental progress.
