Forty years ago, Jon Waterman took his first journey to Alaska’s Noatak River and was astonished by the abundant wildlife, the strange landscape, and its otherworldly light, and he continued on dozens of explorations throughout the remote North. Over time he began to notice how climate change had taken a toll—the Arctic is now warming nearly 4 times faster than the rest of the world—and he is on a mission to publicize how this beautiful vast frontier is beset by a climate crisis and the actions we can all take to alleviate carbon emission.
The Climate Speaker Series brings in leading experts from a variety of backgrounds to explore the ecological and societal impacts of climate change and the creative solutions needed to address humanity’s most pressing problem.
