The 2021 Hagey Lecture is coming up at the end of this month (Oct 27) and the University is inviting all of its' retirees. Please see below for a short description and the registration link.
Energy economist and author Mark Jaccard will deliver the 2021 University of Waterloo Hagey Lecture on October 27.
Climate-concerned citizens can overcome myths that hinder us from acting in time to prevent extreme climate impacts. Actions can involve personal consumption choices (electric vehicles, heat pumps) but these only have an effect if citizens are also engaged in the political process and civil society to elect and support climate-sincere politicians. These personal and collective efforts must align with and foster a global strategy of decarbonization, especially in developing countries. Tune in to find out what is required on a simple path to climate success—and what you can contribute.
Mark Jaccard will be on campus with a very small in-person audience, but the event will be livestreamed and registration is open now for the livestream at: https://uwaterloo.ca/hagey-lectures/
