Interested in climate change? Interested in international relations? Want to learn about how they intersect?

Come hear a talk given by Ellen J. Kennedy, Ph.D, the founder and Executive Director of World Without Genocide.

Kennedy highlights the crisis of climate change around the world, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, and its consequences: dramatic increases in food shortages, food prices, and violence. Years of drought in Rwanda in the early 1990s precipitated a ‘perfect storm’ of factors that created near-starvation diets in an ever-growing population and the eventual catastrophe of the 1994 genocide.
