Energy and Human Flourishing:
A Dinner Discussion
Tuesday, November 8, 2022
6:30 PM – 8:30 PM EST
SOLD OUT (but you can join the waitlist)
Interested in the impact of energy and climate change on humanity?
Join us for a dinner and discussion on the connection between energy, climate, and thriving communities. This special event will begin with a panel discussion including activists, scholars, and leaders with expertise in diverse fields – from energy justice to economics to psychology – to set the tone for the evening and provide attendees with some “food for thought.” Then, participants will enjoy a seated dinner with fellow guests, including community members, peers, and speakers, about how we can support a thriving society and planet. We hope that attendees will leave with full hearts, minds, and stomachs as they reenter their lives and work.
Space will be limited for this event, so sign up soon to get your spot.
