Presentations

Project Leader – Alan Journet

Project Description

The purpose of the project is to develop a set of presenters and presentations that can be offered to regional audiences.  It is anticipated that these presentations will be adjusted to suit the interests and understanding of the audience, and be tailored to meet the desired goals and needs of the audience.

Goals

To present scientifically based information on climate change to promote understanding and awareness of the problem and how we can address it.

Connection to SOCAN Mission

It is anticipated that this project will promote awareness and understanding about the causes and consequences of climate change through delivery of informed presentations employing the most current science on various aspects of climate change, its causes, consequences, and counters.

Accomplishments

Since SOCAN’s beginning, we have delivered multiple SOU OLLI 10-week courses, several 3-week mini courses at Coyote Trails and North Mountain Park Nature Centers plus many stand-alone presentations to Southern Oregon churches, service groups, and schools.

Background Information

Delivering presentations on various aspects of climate change is a critically important activity offered by SOCAN. We have developed presentation slide sets that can be shared.

By offering schools, educational institutions, community and service groups informed presentations and programs on Climate Change, SOCAN can promote among area residents; a greater understanding of the basic science of climate change; its causes and consequences, regionally, nationally, and globally; and what we can do to address the problem.  Addressing climate change involves both preparing for the consequences that are inevitable and reducing its causes so as to reduce the severity of future impacts.
