Energized by overwhelming scientific evidence and agreement that human activity is causing serious changes in the Earth’s climate, the Erb Institute has joined environmental, social, and economic leaders around the world in promoting climate-change research, action, and opportunity on a global scale.
Reaching across business sectors and national borders, the Institute has identified and disseminated strategies for advancing energy-efficient technologies, informing the climate policies of key decision-makers, and encouraging climate-wise behavior by corporations and consumers.
The Erb Speaker Series presents Jeff Seabright, Chief Environmental Officer at Coca-Cola. The title of his talk is "Connecting the Drops: The Evolution of Coca-Cola's Water Resource Strategy."
The talk is Monday, Oct. 15, 4:45-6 p.m., in the Ross School of Business, R1210
Author, environmentalist and activist Bill McKibben urged U-M students for their support Friday in a campaign to help prevent catastrophic climate change due largely to the burning of fossil fuels.
"We really are up against it. The swift deterioration of the physical conditions around the planet in the last couple of years has been staggering," said McKibben, author of the 1989 book “The End of Nature” and co-founder and chairman of 350.org, which describes itself as a global grassroots campaign to solve the climate crisis.
