Democracy Commitment Event

Climate Change and the Nature of Belief 

If climate change is a matter of science, then why is it so difficult to find solutions to the climate crisis? The reality is that finding solutions requires more than scientific or technological answers. Solutions involve examining worldviews, belief systems, and identity. This event will explore the complexities behind belief and how that impacts the decisions we make. This event is part of the One Book, One College Program and the MVCC Democracy Commitment programming.
