Join Safina Center Junior Fellow and CEO of Minorities in Shark Sciences, Jamin Graham, virtually June 15 – 17 for the PHIPPS 2022 Nature of Place Symposium, "The Voice of Change."

This year, the theme is “metamorphosis.” One of the largest obstacles in our human response to environmental issues like climate change has nothing to do with technology, knowledge, or intelligence: it’s human behavior and mindset. We often fear change, struggle to authentically communicate with those around us, and feel like we lack the tools to influence decision makers. With all of this in mind, the goal of Nature of Place: The Voice of Change is to help us connect to our communities, reconnect with the natural world, and catalyze real and lasting change towards climate action and an equitable green future.

Each day of the symposium will have a different theme.

Day 1 will be focused on Equity, Empathy, and Learning to Listen in the context of climate communication

Day 2 will be focused on how to creatively build bridges, connect neighbors, communities, and institutions in the fight for climate action.

Day 3 will talk about how to encourage change in your community. The biggest movements often begin as grassroots efforts. How can we be changemakers for our community?
