The reality of climate change is becoming evident in weather patterns and natural disasters. Join us for a conversation with Bekah Estrada of California Interfaith Power & Light about how we can care for the environment while adapting to a hotter world.

Bekah Estrada, who grew up on a farm in Earth, Texas, became USC’s first eco-chaplain before joining California Interfaith Power & Light. As Southern California Director, she works with congregations to meet the ecological needs of their neighborhoods.

“How Then Shall We Live?” is a series of conversations that examines critical issues shaping how humanity lives together today: the environment, polarization and artificial intelligence. Experts will share their perspectives on the path forward for society. These discussions will prompt participants to consider their own lives in the light of climate change, divisiveness and technological development. Learn more: https://crcc.usc.edu/how-then
