“No matter what you do, or what your skills are, you can have a role in shaping that future and thinking about how we prepare for and reduce climate change. Early on it seemed like you had to be a scientist or an engineer to have a role in this issue, but that’s not true at all. Everyone is implicated in building a resilient society, by which I mean: everyone is responsible, and everyone has something to give.”
