Item Description

The World Affairs Council of Oregon, the state's oldest and largest international affairs organization, coordinates the International Speaker Series whose purpose is to bring influential world figures to Oregon to address the most critical ideas and issues shaping our global future. This year's theme, "Warning! Contents Under Pressure" features engaging, provocative speakers taking on some of the most urgent, front-and-center issues of our time: War, Extremism, Inequality, and Climate Change.

For this fundraiser the World Affairs Council is offering two tickets to the June 24 presentation of Katharine Hayhoe at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. She concludes the 2015 International Speaker Series with “Climate Change: Fact & Faith”.

Renowned climate scientist, and political conservative, Hayhoe was recently cited as one of Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” and as one of Foreign Policy’s “Leading Global Thinkers” in 2014. Director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University, she has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and co-authored the book, A Climate for Change: Global Warming Facts for Faith-Based Decisions. She is founder and CEO of ATMOS Research and a scientific advisor to Citizen’s Climate Lobby and the Evangelical Environmental Network.
