Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience

Marcene Mitchell is the Senior Vice President of Climate Change at the World Wildlife Fund, which means she leads a team of climate experts at the world’s largest conservation organization! By working across sectors and with other WWF teams, Marcene’s mission is to facilitate a successful transition to a clean energy economy while conserving nature and prioritizing communities. In this session, Marcene will explain how incorporating nature into climate strategies from their very beginnings and considering nature-based solutions as critical infrastructure can increase climate resilience. Students will also learn about what they can do to help in their own homes and communities.
