Climate Blue's spring symposium will bring together students and community members to discuss the outcome of recent United Nations climate negotiations in Marrakech, Morocco. Join us in hearing perspectives from University of Michigan student delegates who were there as observers. Stay to learn some takeaways from a panel of experts and policymakers on what’s next for climate policy, globally and locally. After the delegate talks and the expert panel we invite you to speak to student and community groups at our Organization Fair.

Additionally, the call for the COP 23 U of M delegation will be announced at this event, opening the spring application period. Please join us for the Delegate Talks and stay for Pizza Dinner at 6pm! RSVP required for dinner: http://bit.ly/WithOrWithoutUS
