Student and Early Career Conferences

Presidential Forum

 

Gina McCarthy (now President and Chief Executive Officer of the NRDC) issued a dynamic call to action in her keynote speech at Sunday's Presidential Forum. She called on the audience to stop being “angry and anxious” and to get engaged instead. Reminding all that “Washington DC is not the real world,” she suggested “Just because climate change is really really hard doesn’t mean we’re going to give up. When Washington does not lead on issues that threaten our lives... the people in this country DO something! People care about clean air, and water, and climate.”
