Free Indoor Talk and Q&A

Hosted by the Vassar College Environmental Studies Program and Office of Sustainability

Join us to learn from Rhiana Gunn-Wright, an architect of the Green New Deal and climate policy expert. The fight against climate change and the fight for justice are often treated as separate. Rhiana Gunn-Wright discusses why this is a mistake. There can be no social justice in a world wrecked by climate change; and we cannot stop climate change without politics and policy that put justice at their center. Gunn-Wright's presentation will be followed by ample time for Q&A.

Rhiana Gunn-Wright is a Senior Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute and chief policy architect of the Green New Deal—a policy framework that puts justice at the center of climate action. She crafted the GND by helping to bring together environmental justice leaders, labor leaders, and leaders of the traditional environmental movement to find consensus and build a new coalition.
