This interactive forum will explore the latest projections of climate change’s effects and what can be done to slow or adapt to them. Proceeding from a global overview to local perspectives, the class will emphasize what is planned in the Upper Valley, what we can do as a community and as individuals, at what cost, and to what end. Classes will include brief lectures, guest speakers, fun quizzes, videos, class discussions, and perhaps a tour of a LEED building. Not for climate change skeptics, this class will start from the assumption that our climate is changing, humans are the main cause, and that we should try to understand and combat it while learning to live with it.

  • There is a required reading packet and online content.
