The summit’s themes are, “Climate Action, Sustainability, and Eco-Justice: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally.” The keynote speaker, Ami Vitale, is an award-winning, internationally acclaimed, National Geographic photographer, Nikon Ambassador, and documentary filmmaker. Her work spans themes from war to wildlife conservation across the globe, including the Middle East, Africa, and China. Vitale will share, “a series of powerful images and stories about people on the front lines of war, climate change, and extinction who refuse to let cataclysm define their future” (amivitale.com).
Ami Vitale’s forthcoming presentation, “Wild Hope,” is a visually and emotionally compelling story that will draw out global connections for speakers’ panels and workshops to follow that will inform the public about the summit’s themes in our local communities and teach practical skills to address them. Tabling by community groups and student exhibits will enhance the day’s activities. Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided to participants who register for the day. Registration and details to come. Entrance and parking are free and open to the public!
