Join us Thursday for "Making the Case for the Island as a Carbon-Neutral Province"

Posting Date(s)

The Institute of Island Studies will host a public symposium to examine the idea of turning Prince Edward Island into Canada鈥檚 first carbon-neutral province. This public event will be Thursday, October 26 at 7 pm in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, room 242 of 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 Don and Marion McDougall Hall.

With so much in the news about monster hurricanes and other unusually severe weather events, people are becoming more concerned about the long-term impact of climate change. And so we ask ourselves what can be done about it; and also, how can we, on our own island, provide a model of positive action for elsewhere.

The title of this symposium is 鈥淢aking the Case for the Island as a Carbon-Neutral Province.鈥 The event is sponsored by 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 Institute of Island Studies, in conjunction with 糖心vlog官方入口 Research Services and the 糖心vlog官方入口 Climate Research Lab.

Following the presentations, there will be ample time for discussion and questions from the floor.
