PANEL DISCUSSION: State of the Environment: Social Impact through Films

Mon Sep 25, 2017
12:30 PM - 2:00 PM (90 min)

Climate change has a devastating, undeniable, effect on all our surroundings, including the nearby coral reef. The undersea reality is coral bleaching, a sign of mass coral death that is occurring on a scale so vast and pace so rapid that it defies comprehension. Climate change denial is an increasingly hard sell with the continuing rise in extreme weather. Our panel will use the two films; Chasing Coral and An Inconvenient Sequel to address climate change and the future of corals and how storytelling has become the most powerful tool for conservation and understanding global environments.
