What are the key factors currently contributing to the climate crisis? What solutions are being implemented and/or proposed by individuals, communities, industries, and governments?
Frida Kerner Furman has been a professor of social ethics in the Department of Religious Studies at DePaul University for the past 33 years and has taught and published in several areas of concern, including contemporary socio-cultural identity and conflict resolution/transformation. In recent years, she has become professionally interested in the environmental crisis besetting the planet and has done some teaching in this field. But her interests have not been purely professional. As an ethicist and as a human being, she believes that climate change is the most pressing issue currently facing the world and future generations, largely due to human neglect and negligence. She therefore finds it is her moral responsibility to engage in addressing it. She have chosen to do so in a way that is most consistent with her identity and expertise as an educator: by making presentations about both the dangers and possibilities for mitigation, if not resolution, of the climate crisis.
