Earth Day Network (EDN) and the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (YPCCC)

Co-led by Anthony Leiserowitz, Ph.D., Director of YPCCC, and Jillian Semaan, Director of Food and Environment at EDN, the panel will also address carbon footprint reduction through diet change, food and beverage choices’ impact on the environment, and barriers consumers face when seeking healthier, climate-friendly food.
