Surviving Climate Change in an Authoritarian State

The Indigenous Amazigh people of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco are one of the world's oldest cultures, and they have handed down practices that have helped them survive several millennia of environmental changes in North Africa. However, they live under the authoritarian rule of King Mohammed VI and they are prevented from using these tools while at the same time some villages ran out of drinking water two summers ago. How will they survive these next few decades when they face grinding poverty and political oppression? In fact, they have a plan and it is one that everyone should hear.
The climate crisis Teach-in is delighted to announce that Dr. Robin Leichenko, Distinguished Professor of Geography and Dean of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Rutgers University and a contributor to the IPCC and the NYC Panel on Climate Change, will present the opening presentation of the 2025 Climate Crisis teach-in on Monday, January 27, 2025 at 6:30 p.m.!
