In The Media

On Feb. 16, 2017, Kent is giving a Public Professor talk at the Lethbridge City Hall, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. All welcome, admission n/c.

Title: "Alberta in the Anthropocene."

As the world moves rapidly into the new, non-carbon economy it will be possible for our province to create a sustainable prosperity that is not dependent upon cash flow from the sale of dwindling natural resources. But Albertans have to be willing to see the big picture. We cannot hope to continue business as usual in isolation from the powerful environmental factors that are shaping our world today.
