Dr. Tracey Osborne reframes climate change as a systemic social justice issue rooted in colonialism, inequality, and unsustainable development. She highlights the urgency of limiting warming to 1.5°C, centering marginalized communities, Indigenous leadership, and just transitions through examples like Ecuador’s Yasuni ITT and the Green New Deal.

Dr. Morgan Levy introduces the fundamentals of climate change from an Earth science perspective, covering the Earth’s energy balance, greenhouse gases, and climate models. She links global climate projections—such as temperature rise, sea level change, and extreme weather, to unequal regional and social impacts, emphasizing climate justice.

Dr. Ram Ramanathan presents the science of climate change and outlines ten interdisciplinary solutions from Bending the Curve to reduce emissions and stabilize the climate. It emphasizes urgent action through net-zero carbon, reducing short-lived pollutants, and removing atmospheric CO₂, integrating science, policy, technology, and climate justice.

Dr. Samantha Murray explains the science of climate change, its societal impacts, and the ocean’s role, linking greenhouse gases, warming, and human activities to sea-level rise, drought, and extreme weather.This lecture explains the science of climate change, its societal impacts, and the ocean’s role, linking greenhouse gases, warming, and human activities to sea-level rise, drought, and extreme weather. It emphasizes climate justice, advocating equitable mitigation, adaptation, and civic engagement for a sustainable future.
