EVENT: The Challenge of Climate Change

Marisa Beck has extensive experience conducting and managing research on climate and energy policy, clean growth, and evidence-based decision-making. She has worked in academia, with NGOs, and in the private sector. Previously, Marisa was the Research Director at the University of Ottawa’s Institute for Science, Society and Policy and of the Positive Energy research and engagement program. Marisa holds a PhD in global governance from the University of Waterloo, a master’s degree in environmental policy, and a graduate degree in business administration.

Marisa’s presentation will be augmented with slides. She will focus her comments largely on Canadian climate policy and current developments - in the context of global developments of course - of which there are plenty. This promises to be a highly interesting address, about a critical issue for the future of the earth and our lives on that home.
