On the Rocks: Climate Talks - Rewriting the Rules of a Broken System
Join us for an evening with Jenny Stefanotti, systems change expert and founder of Denizen, as we explore why solving the climate crisis requires expanding our lens far beyond emissions and clean energy. From economic systems to cultural norms, this lecture will unpack the root causes of our biggest societal challenges, and what it really takes to address them. Jenny will share her perspective on how we can stop perpetuating the broken systems we're trying to change and what meaningful action can look like at work, in community, and beyond.
