Dear GEP-eders and AESS (sorry for 2x post):
Just a reminder that the second of our five-part webinar series on
International Environmental Security Issues happens today (Nov 5) at 1:15 EST.
Details are below, and you can log in at www.securityandsustainabilityforum.org
to listen live. Each of the webinars revolves around an environmental security
issue: water, disease and public health, food, and geo-engineering. The
panelists do not know how the scenario will unfold, so they have to think on
their feet to answer questions! (The first webinar, on the Arctic, is archived
at the site, for use by university classes, non-profit orgs, interested
citizens, etc.)
I am trying a new format to put environmental security topics in front of new
audiences! If anyone is interested in being a panelist for a future webinar,
please let me know.
-Beth
