Luther College will celebrate Climate Justice Week, April 18-24, with a lineup of events focused on social equity in our changing climate. The goals of this week are for participants to walk away with an understanding of how climate change and social inequity are connected, a new or renewed commitment to creating positive change, and clarity about each person’s individual role and responsibility to our environment.
Students Salomé Valdivieso and Sydney Frank worked to organize the events. To see the complete lineup, visit luther.edu/climate-justice-week.
