DESCRIPTION:Register and arrive early to ensure a seat.\nFree and open to the public. 
 Seating is limited. \n\nClimate Justice: A Conversation with Bill McKibben 
 & Sheila Watt-Cloutier\n\nTuesday May 15th, 7:30pm\nAt Peace United Church, 
 900 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA\n\n*Inaugural Kamieniecki Lecture in 
 Environmental Policy*\n\nHosted by the Social Sciences Division, Everett 
 Program for Technology and Social Change, and Kresge Common Ground 
 Center\n\nSheila Watt-Cloutier is one of the most outstanding advocates for 
 the economic, social and cultural rights of the Inuit of the Arctic. As an 
 elected representative of her people, administrator and advocate, 
 Watt-Cloutier significantly contributed to an overhaul of the education 
 system in Nunavik in Northern Quebec to make it more effective in meeting 
 the needs of Inuit communities. She was an influential force behind the 
 adoption of the Stockholm Convention to ban persistent organic pollutants, 
 which accumulate strongly in Arctic food chains. Through her advocacy, she 
 has shifted the discourse around climate change by establishing how 
 unchecked greenhouse gas emissions violate the collective human rights of 
 the Inuit.\n\nBill McKibben is one of the world’s leading 
 environmentalists. He has been an influential author and educator for 30 
 years, and his 1989 book The End of Nature was one of the first-ever books 
 written to inform a general audience about climate change. Over the last 
 ten years he initiated and built the first planet-wide, grassroots climate 
 change movement. With the organization 350.org at its core, this movement 
 has spread awareness and mobilized political support for urgent action to 
 mitigate the climate crisis that is already unfolding.\n\n-=-=-\n\nThis
