Contemplating Climate Change, with Trevor Houser

In this Iona Lecture, climate change researcher and former diplomat Trevor Houser will provide an overview of the current state of global efforts to address climate change and constructive steps individuals and communities can take to advance those efforts. He will also reflect on how faith can provide both a refuge from environmental anxiety and a guide to personal engagement.
