Global Environmental Policy - Sagan Lecture Seminar Series

Explore the intersection of earth system science and global environmental policy in this thought-provoking AGU Sagan Lecture. Delve into how earth system observations provide a crucial platform for linking environmental changes to policy actions. Learn from Michele Betsill, a leading scholar in global environmental governance and professor of political science at Colorado State University, as she shares insights on the roles of non-state and sub-national actors in addressing climate change. Gain a unique perspective on how multiple disciplines integrate to expand our understanding of life and environmental issues across planetary boundaries. This one-hour seminar, part of the AGU Sagan Lecture series jointly sponsored by the Biogeosciences and Planetary Sciences Sections, offers a synthesis of astrobiology, public engagement, and critical environmental issues that transcend traditional research boundaries.
