At the "Creating a Just Climate Future: A Community Dialogue" event on May 12 (see video above!), we asked the audience two questions. We'd like to hear from you, too! Just click on the question below and add in your response and/or upvote others' responses:

• What do you think PSU should be doing on climate and climate justice?
   
• If Portland State offered a course that was open to all on “What Everyone Should Know about Climate Change”, what would you like to see addressed in that course?

We have also started to gather online resources that highlight some of the past and current climate scholarship and action carried out by PSU faculty, students, and staff. See below!

And stay tuned for other events the committee is planning for the future.
