Climate Change: Opportunity or Crisis

May 15, 2024, 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St, Kelowna

Be it resolved, cities should treat climate change as an opportunity to harness, not a crisis to manage. Join host Lesley Cormack and debaters Ross Hickey (UBCO), Carol Liao (UBCV), Shauna Sylvester (Urban Climate Leadership), and Brett Favaro (Kwantlen Polytechnic University) as they challenge priorities, inspire out-of-the-box solutions, and guide our community’s path toward a sustainable and resilient future.

UBC Okanagan Debates is a signature event hosted by UBCO’s Principal and Deputy-Vice Chancellor. This event is designed to model civil discourse in a polarized world by bringing together renowned experts to discuss disputed and timely topics.
