Wednesday, March 12, 2025, 4:10 p.m.

This lecture will explore three major global challenges - climate change, loss of biodiversity and its benefits, and inequality and inequity among people. Lubchenco will focus on the historically ambitious, innovative policies implemented by the Biden-Harris Administration to achieve this integration.

Lecture 2 – Seas the Day: A New Narrative for the Ocean
Thursday, March 13, 2025, 4:10 p.m.

This second lecture will challenge the two current dominant narratives of the ocean being too big to conquer that are anchored in the past. A third, new narrative acknowledges that the ocean is central to a safe, clean, healthy, just and prosperous future.
