Event Description
The New Geopolitics of Food with Lester Brown
A Fundraiser for the CCPA-BC’s Climate Justice Project

Lester Brown is a renowned environmental thinker and the founder of the Earth Policy and Worldwatch institutes.

About the Climate Justice Project
The Climate Justice Project, a partnership between the CCPA and the University of British Columbia, addresses climate policy from a social justice perspective: we consider the social and economic effects of climate change, and we acknowledge that climate change affects people differently, depending on their position in society.
