Join us on Earth Day Eve, Thursday, April 21st, 6:30 to 8:00 pm, when Princeton American Chemical Society (PACS) hosts an online live event in recognition of the 52nd International Earth Day to continue the conversation about sustainability of the quality of life in the face of climate change.

The virtual event will engage and inform our members, students ranging from high school to university and other interested local community members. The agenda includes a keynote delivered by Professor Maurie Cohen, NJ Institute of Technology, who authored several books and other publications on sustainability and climate change. A group of pre-selected non-expert individuals who have considered these issues will present their thoughts and findings from their use of the policy simulations model, En-ROADS (Climate Interactive, MIT Management). That freely available online application gives individuals the chance to design scenarios to control and limit anthropogenic impacts on the environment, specifically global warming and climate change. 

There is no fee to attend but registration is required. 

Maurie J. Cohen is Professor of Sustainability Studies and Chair of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Co-founder and Management Team Member of the Future Earth Knowledge-Action Network on Systems of Sustainable Consumption and Production, and Editor of the journal Sustainability: Science, Practice, and Policy.
