This interactive Viewpoint session was an extension of our collaborative podcast series titled, An Inter-Institutional Action on Climate Change, where thought leaders in social institutions engage in dialogue to discover transformative learning opportunities to address climate change.
In this session, Dr. Patrick Baylis, Assistant Professor and Environmental Economist at UBC, and Michael Wolfe, Richmond City Council, shared their leadership experience in environmental education and public responses to climate change in their respective fields.
This event was hosted in collaboration with the Edith Lando Virtual Learning Centre.
