2026 Climate Change Symposium
Join us for CLE credit and an exciting series of conversations about one of the world’s most pressing issues! You have a stake in the health of the environment, and in the midst of a rapidly changing climate, it is critical that we share our most current understanding in order to coordinate the fight against climate change.
Hosted by SEEDS at UNC-CH, this year’s Annual Climate Change Symposium will be held throughout the day next week on April 21st in Wilson Library’s Pleasants Family Assembly Room. Put on almost every year since 2010, this event brings together students, faculty, and professionals to discuss climate change and think about pathways to solutions, from policy to technology. Anyone interested is welcome to attend any part of the event which will last from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. See more details below.
About the event:
The day will start with bagels, an intro, and speaker sessions, featuring presentations by UNC Professor Nancy Guo on Carbon Capture, Dr. Melissa Malkin-Weber on Clean Energy, and SELC’s Ramona McGee on Wildlife Conservation Policy. A panel will follow, with panelists bringing perspectives from local, organizational, and international levels of climate and environmental management, then a bring-your-own-lunch break during which you can join one of the breakout workshops, one by Climate Journalist Justin Cook on Climate Communication, and one by Sunrise on Student Activism. After lunch, we will have a networking session during which you can hear from students giving poster presentations and tabling student organizations, before closing with Climate Hero awards. If any of these sound interesting, we’d love for you to RSVP to participate! There is no obligation to stay for the entire duration.
Please feel free to contact zikbaj@unc.edu if you have any questions or need more information, and we hope to see you there!
