Join us for a day-long interactive symposium to explore the astronomical perspective as we fight to protect our planet. Through a series of talks, panels, and workshops, participants will engage with the global communities of the ASP and A4E to learn about causes, consequences, and solutions related to the climate crisis. You will come away with knowledge and tools to better communicate, educate, and advocate for solutions to climate change as well as inspire change on an individual, institutional, and societal level. Ticket includes a special public talk and exclusive symposium attendee-only discussion, the evening before the symposium, with Jill Tarter, founder of the SETI Institute.
