Registration for external guests closes at 4 PM on November 30. Registration will automatically close at that time. Columbia/Barnard affiliates may register at the door.

Event Description

This roundtable will feature lawyers and scholars of law and environmental humanities discussing how current law can both facilitate and impede climate action.

Series Description

This series of events aims to re-energize interdisciplinary conversations at Columbia about the climate emergency, at a moment when confronting the urgent and ever-growing challenges posed by global warming feels extraordinarily difficult. In the context of diminished funding for climate science and other federal actions that aim to roll back or obstruct climate action, it’s easy to be shocked into silence and despair, or to be burned-out to the point of wondering, what’s the point?
