With Earth’s population set to reach 7.5 billion this year, now is the time to join in the conversation to make global population growth, with its overarching connections to the environment and human health worldwide, a mainstream issue! Local non-profit Investments for Developing Communities (IDC) is excited to host two thought-provoking presentations by speakers well-versed in the current field of population advocacy, education and project work: John Seager, president of Population Connection in Washington DC, and Suzanne York, project director of Transition Earth, of the Earth Island Institute in Berkeley, CA.
In collaboration with the Greater Portland Sustainability Education Network (GPSEN) and Center for Biological Diversity, IDC invites you to bring your questions, join in the conversation, and be inspired to learn more about the opportunities for each of us to get involved. Light food is included and a cash bar is on site.
