Congratulations to Professor Roger Pielke and Assistant Professor Matt Burgess with their co-author on their recent publication out now in Environmental Research Letters. The new study suggests some cautiously optimistic good news: the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement goal is still within reach, while apocalyptic, worst-case scenarios are no longer plausible.
Climate change is a much bigger problem than individuals can solve alone, but CU experts say we each can make a difference. If you want to make some climate-focused changes to improve the present and future of the planet, consider these resolutions in the new year.
Rae Lewark, a May graduate with a major in environmental studies and a dance minor, went to great lengths to create their honor’s thesis. Lewark combined her passions for environmental sustainability, self-expression, and the element of water to make a short film titled "The Life of Water. Becoming the Water Cycle", in which the path of the water cycle is depicted by Lewark dancing both in and under water.
Doing the right thing for the planet and its people is always good, even when your efforts draw public mockery, dismissal and disrespect, an architect of the Green New Deal told environmental studies graduates at the °µÍø½ûÇø on Thursday.
Dr. Peter Newton (ENVS Assistant Professor) led a study of the potential social and economic opportunities and challenges of plant-based and cultured (or 'clean') meat for farmers and ranchers. The paper was published in the journal 'Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems', and was co-authored by Dan Blaustein-Rejto who works with The Breakthrough Institute.
