From end to end, this year has brought more upheaval than anyone could have imagined, from politics, to the pandemic, to racism, and the intensifying effects of climate related natural disasters. Fires, floods, hurricanes, derechos, landslides and drought have left virtually no corner of the world untouched. People across the globe are exhausted?but also, determined to move toward more sustainable policies. Even amidst the unique chaos of 2020, we are better recognizing the relationship between the choices we make and the environment we make with them. Here at FSU, our students, faculty, and alums continue to lead the field in pressing for progress, and I?m happy to share some of our highlights this fall. I also invite you to join in our upcoming environmental programming events, or to join past events asynchronously, by clicking the appropriate links below. Our speaker series this year bridges oceanographic science and oil spills (Ian MacDonald), administrative law and climate justice (Richard Murphy), conceptual divisibility and resource management (Lee Fennel), sea turtle conservation (Mariana Fuentes), urban commons and environmental policy (Sheila Foster), the conservative movement for climate governance (Bob Ingliss), developments in rooftop solar, and more. All are openly accessible, and we welcome the wider community to share in the wealth of expertise our guests have shared with us. - ER Program Lecture: The Longest Oil Spill in History [https://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20201120/40/47/9d/24/5db792a7058f87f4e50c13c9_1080x606.jpg] Monday September 28 - 12:30-1:30 PM via Zoom Ian R.
