How can we create communities that are both resilient to climate change and fair to everyone who calls them home? Join us for Building a Just and Sustainable Future: An Evening with Dr. Cybelle Shattuck, our October Thoughtful Thursday program exploring how climate adaptation and environmental justice are shaping our shared future—both here in Michigan and across the nation.

Our October Thoughtful Thursday guest, Dr. Cybelle Shattuck, is an assistant professor at Western Michigan University, where she holds a joint position in the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and the Department of Comparative Religion. Her research focuses on the intersection of ecology and religion. In her most recent book, Faith, Hope, and Sustainability: The Greening of US Faith Communities, Dr. Shattuck explores the role of faith communities in creating a more just and sustainable world.

We are excited to have Dr. Shattuck join us to discuss climate adaptation and the many environmental justice activities taking place in local communities. She will highlight how Michigan’s communities—and the policies that shape them—are responding to the challenges of climate change, and what each of us can do to help build a cleaner, more affordable, and more sustainable future for all.

This event promises to be an evening of insight, inspiration, and shared commitment to a healthier planet and more equitable future. We hope you’ll join us for this engaging presentation and discussion!
