A growing global population, continuing industrialization, and continuing reliance on fossil fuels are combining to create a number of threats to natural ecosystems and to sustainability of human processes. These impacts will affect where we live, how we feed ourselves, and other important measures of quality of life. Learn how New York and Stony Brook University can lead in many ways, and in this talk he will encourage us all to do that. We can be the change we want to see in the world, and making it happen will be exciting.
