Sustainable Futures: Overcoming Disparities
Sustainable Futures: Overcoming Disparities at The Claremont Colleges (led by Claremont McKenna College and EnviroLab) tackles the relationship between globalization and sustainability and imagines futures where globalization is more inclusive, equips individuals with the appropriate means to deal with changes, and can meet its original lofty promises, especially in a world facing a number of environmental challenges.
