Dr. Francis will discuss with participants the issues he raised in his keynote address: how the current environmental crisis is a reflection of world-wide social and economic inequity and that any attempt to resolve the crisis must address not only the scientific issues, such as climate change and deforestation, but also the humanitarian issues. From peace and justice to everyday civility, Dr. Francis contends that our connection to the earth as well as each other is at the heart of the environmental crisis.
Speaker: John Francis
