Three quarters of the globe are oceans, but this vital element of the Earth’s ecosystem is often seen as a resource to be plundered rather than a source of nature-based solutions — from absorbing carbon and heat, to being a source of renewable energy. How can individuals contribute to unlocking the power of our oceans?
This hands-on workshop will be hosted in the Yard, bringing together leaders, students and members of the community to learn, debate and discover equity-oriented solutions. Participants of all ages, expertise and familiarity with the subject matter are welcome.
