Description
THIS IS AN IN-PERSON EVENT, ZOOM REGISTRATION IS ONLY REQUIRED IF YOU WANT TO RECEIVE A LINK TO JOIN REMOTELY. In this presentation, Professor Justin Hollander will discuss his ongoing collaboration with environmental defenders working in Kampala, Uganda. This work has involved a risk analysis to understand which parts of the capital city are most vulnerable to flooding associated with plastic pollution, in partnership with the Woodwell Climate Research Center. Today, the team is leading efforts around a clean-up campaign in two informal settlements and a series of outreach and training initiatives to help communities manage waste and reduce flooding risks. This lecture is part of the Environmental Studies Program Hoch Cunningham Environmental Lecture Series.
